About Us #

CSWG is focused on building open-source infrastructure for decentralized organizations & communities, including makerspaces, non-profits, open-source projects, and other small and medium enterprises who are looking for better ways of managing their shared resources.

Goals #

Our goal is to reduce the workload and increase the resiliency of community and organizational infrastructure so the people involved can focus on the work they’re passionate about.

We’ve identified a number of closely-related areas where we believe we can make a difference:

  • Avoiding up-front cost of traditional infrastructure buildout.
  • Reducing reliance on centralized third-party services and tools and the lock-in that comes with them.
  • Avoiding fragility, operational and change management workload, and siloes of data caused by fundamental limitations inherent in traditional computing infrastructure management practices.
  • Decreasing the bottlenecks and burnout of key individuals that are common in hierarchical organizations.
