The founding principles were adopted by the board of directors on 23 August 2019.
* In order to start as an association, 4 individual founders will play the role of member until there are enough public members for the organization to sustain itself.
The current priorities of the organization are set by the board of directors and reviewed every meeting.
On 29 April 2020, the priorities were set as:
- Members: get public organizations to join the association
- Codebases: get codebases into stewardship
- Funding: secure funding for the next years
In order to achieve these priorities, we have come up with a number of outcomes and measurable goals for the period December 2020 - March 2021.
