For the dreamers, from the doers.
Tebibyte Media is the culmination of what free software and open-access philosophy is all about; preserving and promoting the essential freedom to share:
– Richard Stallman, Why Software Should be Free, "Damaging Social Cohesion", para. 2–3Signing a typical software license agreement means betraying your neighbor: “I promise to deprive my neighbor of this program so that I can have a copy for myself.” People who make such choices feel internal psychological pressure to justify them, by downgrading the importance of helping one’s neighbors—thus public spirit suffers. This is psychosocial harm associated with the material harm of discouraging use of the program.
Our Network is designed to facilitate and spread that spirit of sharing, cooperation, and solidarity by providing to members firm foundations of support. If your project or community is young and you and your team are not sure how to build a userbase, maintain your own services, or if you need a way to get yourself and your work out there, you should consider applying!
Even if you've been around the block, we're always accepting new members who share our values, and experienced Network members are also extremely important to us.

Tebibyte Media's infrastructure is maintained by a few individuals who work on it in their spare time. As a result, funding is tight, so any donations are highly appreciated. Donations are accepted through Liberapay and Open Collective.
