Developers & maintainers
Help define the compiler, bootstrap process, build system, or runtime. Bring a small, testable idea and the experience to evaluate it.
Built together, from the ground up
Bring your expertise.
Build what comes next.
Independent foundations need more than good code. They need people who care about how software is built, verified, governed, and sustained.
An open invitation to help shape the initiativeResearchers & universities
Explore compiler correctness, reproducible builds, formal methods, or source provenance. Help turn research questions into practical foundations.
Organisations & partners
Identify real-world requirements, EU-based infrastructure, or sustainable maintenance models. Help connect technical ambition with long-term support.
A practical first step
Start with an idea.
Make it concrete.
Use this local proposal builder to outline what you could contribute. It creates a Markdown file you can keep, refine, and use in future discussions.

Make independence testable.
Think about source provenance, bootstrap steps, and the infrastructure required to reproduce your work.
Keep the first step small.
A clear specification, a focused experiment, or a well-documented question can be a valuable foundation.
