| === About EAWF: ===
| |
|
| |
| ''EAWF develops practical open-source software, documentation, and educational resources that help individuals and small organizations manage their own technology with confidence. Our projects focus on Linux administration, self-hosted infrastructure, Bitcoin, automation, and system management.''<br>
| |
| We believe technology should be understandable, maintainable, and under the user's control.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mission:'''
| |
| ''To empower people by creating practical, reliable, and open tools that simplify technology, encourage self-reliance, and make complex systems easier to understand and manage.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Vision:'''
| |
| ''A world where individuals, families, educators, and small organizations can confidently build, manage, and own their digital infrastructure without unnecessary complexity or dependence on large vendors.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Motto:''' ''Simple. Reliable. Open.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Tagline:''' ''Empowering People. Solving Problems.''
| |
|
| |
| === Core Values ===
| |
| '''Simplicity'''<br>
| |
| We remove unnecessary complexity and strive to make every project easy to install, understand, and maintain.
| |
|
| |
| '''Reliability'''<br>
| |
| Software should work consistently and predictably. Stability always comes before unnecessary features.
| |
|
| |
| '''Openness'''<br>
| |
| Whenever practical, our work is open, documented, and available for others to learn from, improve, and build upon.
| |
|
| |
| '''Education'''<br>
| |
| Knowledge should be shared. Every project is an opportunity to teach, document, and help others become more capable.
| |
|
| |
| '''Privacy'''<br>
| |
| People should own their own data and control their own infrastructure whenever possible.
| |
|
| |
| '''Independence'''<br>
| |
| Technology should reduce dependence on centralized services, not increase it.
| |
|
| |
| '''Continuous Improvement'''<br>
| |
| Good software evolves through practical experience, thoughtful design, and feedback from real users.
| |
|
| |
| === What We Build ===
| |
| EAWF projects currently include:
| |
| * Linux system administration tools
| |
| * MediaWiki management utilities
| |
| * Bitcoin node and mining management
| |
| * Deployment and synchronization tools
| |
| * Server management utilities
| |
| * NFC and mobile automation projects
| |
| * Documentation and technical knowledge bases
| |
| * Educational resources and presentations
| |
| * Design Philosophy
| |
|
| |
| '''Every EAWF project follows a common philosophy:'''
| |
| * Keep it simple.
| |
| * Solve one problem well.
| |
| * Automate repetitive work.
| |
| * Document everything.
| |
| * Prefer standards over cleverness.
| |
| * Make installation straightforward.
| |
| * Make maintenance predictable.
| |
| * Respect the user's data.
| |
| * Long-Term Goals
| |
| * Build a complete suite of open-source Linux administration tools.
| |
| * Simplify self-hosting for individuals and small organizations.
| |
| * Promote Bitcoin education and self-custody.
| |
| * Create documentation that remains useful for years.
| |
| * Build software that people can trust and maintain themselves.
| |
|
| |
| === The EAWF Promise ===
| |
| We build software we use ourselves. If it doesn't make our own work easier, it probably doesn't belong in an EAWF project.
