__NOTOC__

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.
  
<div class="blurb" style="padding: 30px; border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid #d2d2d2; border-bottom: 3px solid #d2d2d2;">
+
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.
