Our software is widely used around the world: it can be studied, modified, copied and even resold. Our effort is not for profit, our strength is in community and ideals, your solidarity lets us progress. We also offer sponsorship opportunities for ethical companies and institutions.

These expenses are very limited considering the impact of what we do. We are working hard since 12 years on our software and your donation makes a big difference for about a million of people using our free and open source software for their privacy, freedom of speech and computer recycling needs. Thanks for considering it!

Sponsors are mentioned in all on-line and on-site documentation of the projects we produce, but most importantly will benefit of the viral communication of their benevolence among our vast network of peers.
But beware we don’t accept just any sponsor, but only those who we consider ethical. In case you contact us, we will regard our negotiation as strictly confidential.
Donate hardware
You are welcome to donate us working hardware: machines that we can test our software with, platforms that we can support, cpus we can cluster and devices we can make use of, all well accepted!
And even obsolete hardware that can be still put in use: such things can be valuable in some less fortunate places of the world, impossible to afford for an hacker developing free software and living a modest life.
The Computer Museum on the island of Sicily is one of the places where dyne.org becomes physical as Poetry Hacklab. Hackers gather to share knowledge and passion recycling computers and preserving them functioning, for fun and education. Exemplars as VAX, Data General Eclipse, AppleII/c and PDP/11 are kept operational and able to recover data from mass storage. And there is even a retro DECnet 
If you are willing to send us an hardware donation, please contact us with a description of the hardware you like to give.
Become a Fellow
If you are a creative using free software for your productions, you can apply for a dyne.org fellowship.
As we gather resources from this funding drive, fellows will benefit from visibility through our network and a solid basis for their online presence, including an email @dyne.org, instant messaging, openID (with multiple identities) and on-line conferencing platforms.
The dyne.org on-line infrastructure is up & running now for more than 10 years and we are keen to share that experience with all those people sharing our visions and seeking mutual support.
We can exchange information and experiences to help you organize cultural events, festivals and exhibitions. We also can help you with the planning of community architectures based on free software and sustainable on the long term. In fact, what we call conspiring here can be seen as a consultancy contract which will let us help you for a single project or stay in touch on a longer term.
Our fellowship offers you the possibility to reach out to a large network of ethically engaged hackers and artists, educators and experts that use and promote freedom and independence from proprietary software. We can help you setup a reliable and alive platform for content creators in your own region.
