@ -266,6 +266,43 @@ Although Canoeboot is not affiliated with SFC in any official capacity, it is

otherwise an excellent organisation, it is listed here in honour of the
|

excellent work it does, including its support of the coreboot project.

### Software in the Public Interest (SPI)
|
||||
|
||||
Website: <https://www.spi-inc.org/>
|
||||
|
||||
The SPI is a non-profit organisation of New York, USA, dedicated to the
|
||||
cause of [software freedom](https://writefreesoftware.org/learn). It provides
|
||||
fiscal sponsorship and promotion of numerous Free and Open Source projects,
|
||||
which you can read about here:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/>
|
||||
|
||||
It provides services to member projects such as donations infrastructure,
|
||||
legal services, advice/assistance and oversight of project governance and
|
||||
general help with fundraising.
|
||||
|
||||
SFC most notably provides services to Debian, which is a member:

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Although SPI does not currently (at this time) sponsor any coreboot or
|
||||
firmware-related projects, several of the projects that it *does* support
|
||||
are critical for Canoeboot development. For example, it also supports the
|
||||
Arch Linux project:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/archlinux/>
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot development, especially build testing, happens largely on computers
|
||||
running Debian Linux and Arch Linux, because these cover a large number of
|
||||
users; we also test many other distros such as Fedora or Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Organisations like SPI (and indeed SFC, OSFF) are critical to the general
|
||||
health of the Free Software movement. Without them, we would not be able to
|
||||
as effectively coordinate projects, especially in terms of funding.
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot is not currently affiliated with the SPI in any official capacity,
|
||||
but they have our respect and they are listed here.
