Mission

To promote the creation, preservation, accessibility, and sharing of knowledge for the benefit of society.

Knowledge grows when it is shared. We back the people and communities who create it - maintainers, researchers, educators, students, and creators - and we keep what they build open, reproducible, and free for everyone.
