EAWF
Empowering People, Solving Problems
About Me/Us
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.
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
We remove unnecessary complexity and strive to make every project easy to install, understand, and maintain.
Reliability
Software should work consistently and predictably. Stability always comes before unnecessary features.
Openness
Whenever practical, our work is open, documented, and available for others to learn from, improve, and build upon.
Education
Knowledge should be shared. Every project is an opportunity to teach, document, and help others become more capable.
Privacy
People should own their own data and control their own infrastructure whenever possible.
Independence
Technology should reduce dependence on centralized services, not increase it.
Continuous Improvement
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.
Please read The EAWF Standard to obtain more understanding about us.
