// 01 — about
Small group. Clear mission.
We are a founder and a small group of volunteers based in Birmingham. We are forming as a Community Interest Company so that the mission is legally protected.
// 02 — why we started
Why we started.
We kept seeing the same pattern. Community groups in Birmingham were making do with software that was not built for them. New developers were graduating with strong skills and no obvious route in. People were feeling left behind by technology that changes faster than anyone explains it.
We think a small, careful group of people can chip away at all three — if they work in the open and do not take on more than they can do well.
// 03 — how we work
How we work.
Everything is open source. We do not rush. We publish our code, our finances, and our decisions publicly. We work with the communities we are building for, not just at them.
We are forming as a Community Interest Company — a legal structure that puts the mission above profit. A CIC cannot pay dividends to shareholders. Any surplus goes back into the work.
// 04 — where next
Whether you are a community group, student, or funder — we would like to hear from you.
All our code is public. Read it, fork it, or contribute.
