# Open Source Development

OpenWebSearch.eu is devoted to be fully Open Source and Open Data. We are also open to communities, developers, researchers or organisations to join us and contribute / use the projects result.

Regular coordination happens in the [OpenWebSearch Community](https://openwebsearch.eu/community/). For development, we use the Gitlab [OpenCode](https://opencode.it4i.eu/) hosted by IT4I.
