We are Endless and we are building an open source operating system for developing nations (and more)! AUA
Hi Everyone!
We are Endless, and we make an open source operating system for computers that is optimized for developing nations and low-bandwidth areas communities. We don’t just ship a comprehensive set of apps (web browsing, office productivity, media production, games etc), but also what we call “knowledge apps”.
Knowledge apps provide offline guidance for all manner of areas including cooking, water sanitation, health, exercise, and more. Because Endless is smart about bandwidth, updates across the OS are brought in efficiently and at the most cost efficient times.
Want to see it in action? See https://vimeo.com/227962866 for a quick overview video.
We are also hugely invested in community. We are active members of the open source world (via GNOME, Flatpak, and elsewhere), we release open source (https://github.com/endlessm/), and we are fostering a global Endless community, and not one that just speaks English (https://community.endlessos.com/).
Anyway, onto the action.
