Outreach

OSArch is a non-proft group and relies on volunteers and building our network of professionals, organizations and companies involved in the projects we support. Having a strong social media presence is part of getting the word out.

There is also a page on who maintains our OSArch Digital Infrastructure

Social Media

We have a number of social media accounts, both on free/libre open systems and closed proprietary systems.

Please follow the accounts and share the posts you find interesting.
