Diversity
Open-source
Ecology
We love to mix: methods, disciplines, knowledge, culture and languages. We love our Bastard Culture!
Code is our literature: we build software to communicate, interact and inspire. Dyne.org is where art, science and technology meet open source.
We recycle old technology rather than create needs for new one: this is our way to respect the environment and optimize resources.
Our heritage
A large amount of people and organisations in all fields employed and redistributed our creations. Our software gives everybody the right to use, study, share and improve its code, supporting fundamental freedoms.

Our vision is to promote a circular, resilient, and digitally-based mode of production.
We support collaboratively developed and globally shared data as commons on the web.

The Tomb project by Dyne.org is actually really cool. They have done a lot of work to make the power of cryptsetup accessible to mere mortals.

Zenroom stands for Citizen Crypto. It is a core part of the DECODE tech stack for Smart Cities and makes it easy to understand the complexity of data transformation while being compatible with any platform, including Legacy Infrastructure. Dyne.org makes Crypto for Citizens and makes it Open Source.

I was the 2nd Debian project leader. These days, I prefer to run Devuan, a true Debian derivative engineered the way I would probably have decided to make it. It’s efficient and trouble-free. Thanks to the Devuan developers for all of the work!
