Retreats

Twice a year the Robur team meet with others from the OCaml and MirageOS community at a week long hack retreat in Marrakesh, Morocco.

We use these times to discuss and learn about new developments in the MirageOS ecosystem and meet in person about our Robur projects. And of course we have fun whilst we are at it!

The retreats are held in a hostel in the center of the city, which we wholly rent out for the period, with food provided. If you are interested in participating in the next retreat please see the MirageOS site for more details and sign-up method.

THE CENTER FOR TECHNICAL CULTIVATION

The Center For Technical Cultivation is a "back-end provider" for the open source community. They work with Robur to assist us in our financial processes and administration.

Funding

At Robur our focus is on the software we develop. We are passionate about our work and believe in the importance of creating and maintaining secure digital infrastructure.

We get our funding through three avenues: grants for particular open-source projects, contracts for specific work including development and auditing, and public donations that help allow us to continue the work that isn't otherwise funded.

We spend most of our funding on salaries, ensuring Robur keeps developing the software we think is important. We do not spend money on fancy parties or first class business trips. Our general breakdown of spending per year is:

  • 83% on salaries
  • 7% on necessary travel
  • 10% on inecitable administrative costs

If you are considering donating to us, hiring us, or giving us a grant you can be assured your money will be well spent on the actual end result of delivering the robust and secure digital infrastructure we strive for.
