The LogiLogi Foundation wants to create interesting web-sites and -communities that are truly yours.
For you we create practical web-applications of the kind that’s often called Web 2.0, or social software but we make them open and free as in freedom. We do this by putting them under a Free Software License and we work as a non-profit foundation. This means that you can be sure that what you invest in it, whether as an user, an author, or as a developer, you will know that it is and will be yours, and be guarded by the public interest.
Communities and communication are at the core of our software. Mutual understanding, sharing and sifting idea’s, and in more general terms collaboration over the web for a common good, are what we work for. We’re not running towards an IPO, or trying to get rich quickly by being bought by Google. What you create with us will still be there when IT stock markets have a dip.
We think that the web will be spread out over many small, inter-connected services doing just what they are best at. A bit like how – along the unix philosophy – many small tools can make a whole Operating System like GNU/Linux work. Also we think that such a web is already glimmering at the horizon, and that for the people that use it, it will mean much more useful sites, composed of the services of other sites, so called mashups.
To move towards this open, free and social web we use mostly existing, but always up-to-date web-technology to create software for human beings. We believe that the most interesting developments in IT are happening in the sphere of social software. This is the new frontier. But we will not be turning the WWW into a Wild West Web. Your virtual homestead will be yours in the realms of the LogiLogi Foundation.
Whether you wish to join one of our projects as an user or as a developer or even start up a new project with us, you are most welcome.
Thus the LogiLogi Foundation is and will be open on all levels, providing web-applications to you, for the common good, and covering the costs of our projects (and maybe some of our developers food and living) through grants, sponsors and where we have to: advertising.
