Permacommons

Minding the future.

A permanent home for useful shared resources, maintained with AI assistance and overseen by people.

Shared tools, already taking shape.

Built to be shared.
Maintained to last.

Useful software should have a future beyond the time any one person can give it.

We are growing a community that welcomes responsible AI use in open source development. As the tools improve, we aim to reduce the work of maintenance while people remain responsible for quality, usability, and security.

Our long-term goal is an endowment that sustains both computing resources and human effort. We are starting with useful software, learning in the open, and building toward a permanent commons.
