Get involved

Five doors in. None of them have a paywall.

Several ways to get involved — all of them public, none of them gated.

01

Contribute code

Find a good-first-issue on any project board and open a pull request. Every repo has a public roadmap and reviewers who answer in good faith.

Open the Git
02

Propose a project (RFC)

Write up an idea — a paragraph is fine — and we'll workshop it with you. Promising ones enter incubation with infrastructure and a community attached.

Start an RFC
03

Claim a bounty

Useful features and honest fixes carry real cash rewards. Browse open bounties, claim one, and get paid for work that's usually expected for free.

04

Become a maintainer

Show up, ship, and earn a say. Maintainers govern their projects directly — no board, no sponsor, looking over your shoulder.

Meet the community
What every contributor gets

The fifth door swings both ways.

Membership is free and open. Here is what comes with it.

Standards access

A seat at the standards table

We hold membership in four standards bodies that shape how AI and the web actually work. Contribute here and you take part through us.

Infrastructure

Free Git, with GPU runners that mean it

Self-hosted Forgejo, generous CI, and runners with real GPUs attached — the kind you would otherwise rent by the minute and resent by the hour.

Bounties

Get paid for open source

Our bounty program puts real money behind useful features and honest bug fixes. Open-source labor is not supposed to be free for everyone except the person doing it.

Stewardship

Bring your project to a real home

Hand us a promising library, an unfinished idea, or a one-line RFC. We incubate it — infrastructure, governance, and a community — without ever taking it away from you.

Community

Mentorship and the right rooms

Maintainers with decades of shipping behind them, contributors who review in good faith, and connections across the standards world. Knowing the right people, for free.

Mission

Shape AI ethics, in public

Help write the guidelines and build the tools that confront bias, opacity, and consent in AI — in the open, where everyone affected can inspect the result.

Ready when you are. We literally always are.

Clone the Git, drop into Matrix, or send the stewards a note. Joining takes about as long as reading this sentence did.
