Our service goals are to help communities in research and education be more…
Accelerate the ability to create and share interactive knowledge internally and externally. Make community workflows more productive and efficient so that users can ask questions and share results more effectively.
Make interactive computing accessible to a diverse range of global communities. Broaden participation in knowledge creation and sharing across the world, particularly from marginalized communities.
Build a financially sustainable and globally scalable service. Use our resources to support and grow the open source communities that we partner with to support a healthy open ecosystem.
Our service principles help communities trust us as stewards of critical scientific workflows.
Our infrastructure should be transparent and modular so that it respects the community’s Right to Replicate .
Our platform gives communities agency to design the service they need, and to manage it without 2i2c if they wish.
Our participatory service model ensures we maximize our impact and keeps our incentives aligned with community needs.
Building with flexible, modular, and open technology allows us to re-use the same components for many community workflows. This allows us to build community-centric infrastructure in a scalable way.
Our global network gives us a unique perspective to identify high-impact improvements to open source tools. We collaborate with open source communities to make upstream enhancements, and re-deploy the improved tools to the communities in our network.
