Fabled Sky Community Projects
Volunteer-built. Public-driven. Rooted in transparency.
At Fabled Sky, Community Projects represent the heart of our non-profit ethos. These initiatives are passion projects—conceived and carried forward by employees, collaborators, and volunteers who share our mission of open access, transparency, and the foundational rights of the internet.
Community Projects are not commercial ventures. They are sustained through a blend of:
- Volunteer effort — Most of the work is contributed by employees on their own time, alongside a network of high-alpha volunteers who bring niche expertise.
- Light institutional support — Fabled Sky may provide essential resources such as domains, compute, hosting, or training infrastructure, but the legwork is grassroots.
- Shared values — Projects must advance outcomes that benefit society as a whole, consistent with our origins in digital rights and the BTLF era.
What Defines a Community Project
- Pro bono spirit — Projects are non-profit in intent and execution.
- Societal benefit — Each initiative must serve the public good—whether by improving access to knowledge, defending transparency, or advancing open standards.
- Volunteer-driven innovation — Many projects emerge from personal convictions of Fabled Sky employees, researchers, and contractors, supported by collaborators who see value in building something innovative for the community.
- Transparency & openness — True to our heritage, all projects emphasize radical openness in methods, governance, and outputs.
Why They Matter
Community Projects are where Fabled Sky’s research ethos meets civic duty. They:
- Channel our team’s creativity and convictions into public goods.
- Provide a framework for niche, experimental initiatives that may not fit within commercial or formal research programs.
- Reinforce the belief that technology and research should serve humanity first.
Roots in the BTLF Mission
Fabled Sky’s community work is grounded in a legacy that began with the BTLF Group, founded in 2009 to confront censorship and defend digital freedoms. That DNA—advocating open access, radical transparency, and the rights of individuals online—continues to guide every Community Project we steward today.
How to Get Involved
Community Projects thrive on collaboration. There are many ways to participate:
- Volunteer your skills — Research, engineering, design, moderation, and more.
- Contribute ideas — Propose new initiatives aligned with our mission.
- Support infrastructure — Offer bandwidth, archiving, or other non-editorial resources.
Participation is open to anyone who shares our principles and commitment to building technology in service of the public good.
