| + | The Open-Source Architecture Community brings together like-minded users and developers who share a common goal: that the built environment can be designed, constructed, operated, and recycled with '''free software''', increased '''transparency''', and a more '''ethical''' approach. |

| + | We encourage the community to share what they're working on, use more free software in what is currently a proprietary-dominated market, and learn more about what's out there. |
