DHH launches Omacom Foundation, a non-profit supporting his Omarchy Linux distro, with $8M in funding from Michael Dell, Jack Dorsey, Patrick Collison, others (Omarchy News)
It's time to dream big. Omarchy Quattro has given people a chance to experience what the malleable computer of the future looks like, and they like it (a lot!).
Omarchy Quattro has taken a significant step in making its innovative Linux-based operating system, Omarchy, more accessible to the masses. To fulfill this vision, Omarchy Quattro has established the Omacom Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding and promoting the project. The foundation will secure the project's trademarks, manage its infrastructure, and support the open-source developers essential to its success.
Eight prominent figures have come forward to back this initiative, each pledging a substantial $1 million. Michael Dell, Jack Dorsey, and Patrick Collison are among the Founding Patrons who are demonstrating their confidence in Omarchy's potential to reshape the way people interact with their computers. Their contributions represent a staggering $8 million in funding for the foundation.
As the Omacom Foundation takes shape, its leaders are determined to make the most of this substantial financial support. The organization's primary goal is to ensure the long-term survival and growth of Omarchy, propelling the project towards the much-anticipated "Year of Linux on the Desktop." By leveraging the expertise of its Founding Patrons and a passionate team of developers, the Omacom Foundation aims to accelerate the adoption of Omarchy Linux and bring the benefits of this innovative operating system to a broader audience.
