Hi! Welcome to our computing community's cozy corner of the internet.
We have a lively chatroom on Matrix, XMPP, and IRC, as well as weekly voice calls every Saturday at 14:00 UTC.
We do lots of fun and crazy projects, like using graph algorithms to install every Arch Linux package or booting Linux off of Google Drive, because why not? Subscribe to exofeeds for blog updates!
We've started several free and open-source projects and are also contributors to many existing projects such as KDE, GNOME, Forgejo, ForgeFed, Fish, NixOS, Guix, and mathlib4.
One of our traditions is exocon, an annual virtual conference. It was previously held in 2026 and 2025.
This our supreme overlord mascot, Sydney the cat. He loves eating salmon, chin rubs, and sleeping.
