Digital Defiance is about Open Source Engineering

We are thrilled to announce a pivotal evolution in Digital Defiance’s identity – our new tagline is now “Open Source Engineering Guild”, transitioning from the earlier “Open Source Software Engineering Guild”. This strategic shift reflects our intent to broaden our scope and inclusivity beyond software, to encompass other open source domains like FPGAs and hardware designed through software.

Accompanying this change, we’ve revised our Bylaws and other key texts, reinforcing our commitment to supporting all aspects of open-source engineering. This is an exciting leap forward in our journey, allowing us to foster an even more diverse community of Open Source specialists and enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates!
