Igalia is pleased to announce that we will be helping to define and develop open social web infrastructure in partnership with Eurosky, a non-profit public interest initiative of the Modal Foundation.

Eurosky’s mission is to establish independent social media infrastructure operating in Europe, where Igalia is headquartered, and governed by European law. Our shared goal is to work together to develop core components and tools for the AT Protocol and its overall ecosystem. The fruits of this collaboration will be placed under an MIT License, ensuring that our work remains freely available for developers and organizations building on the open social web.

We at Igalia are excited to be a part of this effort and its vision of a more open, pluralistic, and resilient social web in which users, developers, and communities have genuine choice over the platforms and services they use.
