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:
<https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/debian/>
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.
