The Orizon Software Foundation is a small non-profit that maintains infrastructure libraries, developer tooling, and reference implementations for open protocols. We believe software should be free, open source, and reliable. No user should have to worry about spyware or malware with software that is free to use, free to modify, free to inspect.
"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer.'"
- Richard Stallman
We do not take venture funding. We do not have a blockchain strategy. We write C, Assembly, Rust, and Python, and we ship code that runs on hardware you probably own.
These are the things we actually maintain:
Things we host that are not strictly code:
A lot of people want to make free software, not join an organization. We get that.
Independent FOSS projects can put themselves under the Orizon umbrella while staying fully independent. You keep your own governance, license, repositories, and direction. We simply give you a roof and some useful infrastructure.
