Zirkular Manifesto

 
With Zirkular, we want to start a new era of open source collaboration. A future where people can interact with technology in a meaningful and safe way.
 
We live the values of freedom, security and equality. We believe that technology can be a key to live those values. But we also know that in the wrong hands, technology can be the exact opposite. The past has shown us that technology has often been used for the worse.
 
However, together we can change that.
 
The key to this change is open source. An essential part of this is that we participate in the technology we use every day. That's why we are stepping up with one goal: To push open source.
 

Push Open Source

  • Motivate and connect people.
  • Make development transparent and give a space to influence the direction.
  • Adoption, maintenance and future development is important to stay relevant.
  • We want to be a platform for exchange between Open Source user, contributor, maintainer and different projects.

Make async collaboration delightful

  • We design and establish flexible workflows that scale.
  • The community is included into the development process.
  • Daily task could be automated to have more time for what really matters.
  • We want to provide an API and plugin-based system, so you can exchange data, set trigger for existing tooling and add new features to get the most out of Zirkular.

Data and privacy

  • Your data and privacy is our top priority.
  • Your data should be yours so you can delete and download it at any time. We work with industry-leading encryption to keep you data save, at any time.
  • The benefit: We build your tools, so you don’t have to build them yourself.
