Community
Future is open
We believe in freedom. We want people to have the freedom of choice, be it about code, content or personal privacy. We dare to dream about a future where users, developers, companies, or governments alike can define their own mobile experiences without limitations.
Sailfish OS is truly a people powered platform, built like a classic Linux distribution. Based on open source, it’s built together with a vibrant Sailfish community. You can be a Sailfish OS developer, seasoned user or the new kid on the block and just getting started – everyone is invited to join the Sailfish family. DIT – Doing It Together is our motto.
