Open Source Philosophy
Why Open Source?
Transparency: Organizations can inspect, audit, and understand exactly what they're running.
Community: Open source creates opportunities for collaboration and shared improvement.
Trust: When your infrastructure tooling is open source, you can verify it does what it claims.
Longevity: Open source projects can outlive individual companies and continue serving users.
How We Build
Open by Default: New features are developed in the open, with community input throughout.
Good First Issues: We maintain issues labeled for newcomers to encourage contribution.
Documentation: Comprehensive documentation to lower the barrier to contribution.
Community Support: Active Slack community and responsive maintainers.
