We're teaming up with Helpful Places to grow the open-source ecosystem around DTPR.
This program is made possible with grant support from the U.S. @NSF
This next phase is about:
👀 Seeing – making invisible tech in public spaces visible
🛠️ Building – research, community spaces, and shared governance
🔁 Shifting – moving transparency from one-off pilots to a public expectation

Growing the DTPR Ecosystem: A New Chapter for Digital Trust and Transparency
Helpful Places and Superbloom are excited to team up in order to grow the open-source ecosystem around Digital Trust for Places & Routines (DTPR). This next chapter isn’t just about launching new work. It’s about expanding a shared story: seeing the invisible digital systems around us, building practical tools that make transparency meaningful for everyone, shifting norms, and setting new expectations for how technology is introduced into communities.
Attending #MozFest this week?
Join us today at 1:30 p.m. CET for the Internet Exchange talk, 'Encryption and Feminism: Reimagining Child Safety Without Surveillance.'
Superbloom’s @georgia will help facilitate a discussion on the imperative to create systems for child safety rooted in encryption and feminist principles—not mass surveillance.

“Open source doesn’t just belong to developers: it belongs to anyone willing to make it stronger, safer, and more usable.”
At #OSSummitEU, Eriol Fox reflects on seeing open source through a designer’s eyes and how design, security, and trust all connect.
