<p>
Tebibyte Media is composed of two distinct parts: the
Network and the Project. The latter is made up of its
<a href="/about#staff">staff</a> and the infrastructure that
supports it. The constituent projects and networks
associated with the Project make up our Network. This
distinction exists in order to maintain an appropriate
separation between the Project's and members' interests and
to preserve some of the heterogeneity of these communities.

Tebibyte Media's <i lang="fr">raison d'&#234;tre</i> is its
Network. Our goal as a Project is to foster the growth of
that Network by extending connections of solidarity between
individuals, projects, and other networks who share the
values we believe are important in the digital age.
</p>
<p>
For more information regarding the specification of the
Network as well as the current list of members, the benefits
they enjoy, and their responsibilities, see our

<a href="history">History</a>
</h2>
<p>
Tebibyte Media was started in 2020 by Emma
Tebibyte to create a community of technology-savvy
individuals who shared faer values. Its original goal was to
propagate free software values, which influenced its current
purpose.
</p>
<p>
Today, Tebibyte Media is an aspiring group of free software
and open-access enthusiasts who believe that all information
should be free and publicly accessible. To that end, we
promote, share, connect, and support like-minded developers,
artists, writers, and creators whose work progresses toward
this goal. Read more at our <a href="/blog">blog</a>.

A tebibyte is a unit of digital storage equal to
1099511627776 bytes. The confusion ensuing due to Microsoft
Windows' usage of the SI prefixes instead of the proper IEC ones
is documented on
