Mike's Notes

I have been thinking about what kind of foundation should be established to support Ajabbi and its users. Here are some examples of other "public-good" foundations.

Raspberry Pi Foundation

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based charity with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.

Linux Foundation

Innovation comes from everywhere. We help companies and developers identify and contribute to the projects that matter. Working together, the open source community is addressing the challenges of industry and technology for the benefit of society. Code is power. Community is strength. We are one.

Apache Foundation

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) exists to provide software for the public good. We believe in the power of community over code, known as The Apache Way. Thousands of people around the world contribute to ASF open source projects every day.

Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia and our other free knowledge projects. We want to make it easier for everyone to share what they know. To do this, we keep Wikipedia and Wikimedia sites fast, reliable, and available to all. We protect the values and policies that allow free knowledge to thrive. We build new features and tools to make it easy to read, edit, and share from the Wikimedia sites. Above all, we support the communities of volunteers around the world who edit, improve, and add knowledge across Wikimedia projects.
