Foundation for Public Code
Public code is an approach to open, collaborative development enabling an ecosystem of public and private actors to share specifications, development, and maintenance of digital public infrastructure products.
Enabling public-purpose software and policy that is open and collaborative. We help open source projects for public organizations to become successful, build sustainable communities around them and create a thriving public open source ecosystem. We do this through codebase stewardship of both software and civic code.
A vision for software freedom in 2048, Matthias Kirschner, DORS/CLUC 2025
