About
We also believe in the importance of free and open source software to meet our ambitious goals. postmarketOS is based on Alpine Linux, we contribute to many other free software projects upstream, and all our code is published under free and open source software licenses. Everyone is free to use our code at no cost and for any purpose, free to audit our code, free to modify it, and free to publish their own version. We are strongly invested in building a community around the work we are doing so that users, developers, and our many partner projects can continue to move postmarketOS and Linux on phones forward.
Donations will predominantly be used to:
- pay full-time developers to accelerate improvements to postmarketOS and contributions to the wide Linux ecosystem we depend on.
- fund ongoing infrastructure costs and expansions where appropriate, and purchase devices for development and testing.
- host hackathons, bringing developers together face-to-face for more rapid collaboration, in addition to funding some of the travel costs associated with these events.
postmarketOS day-to-day financial decisions are taken by the democratically elected Finance Team, and any purchases or expenses must be approved by them. You can find more information about postmarketOS policies and governance in our documentation.
Thank you for your interest and support!
