About

ecosyste.ms' mission is to support developers, researchers, and policymakers to identify, secure, and sustain critical open source components.

We do this by developing and maintaining foundational tools and services that lower technological barriers and accelerate our users' work. ecosyste.ms is a non-profit project hosted by Open Source Collective.

ecosyste.ms is a project of The Open Source Collective, a non-profit organization focused on creating a sustainable future for open-source software. We have received financial support from Schmidt Futures (now https://www.schmidtsciences.org), and Alpha Omega a project of The Linux Foundation.
