Our core tenets drive everything we do.

Quality Packages

Packages should never be known to crash or misbehave when they are distributed. We combine automated continuous integration with rigorous testing to ensure every package we ship is reliable for you.

Security

Security issues are a fact of modern computing. Issues should be handled promptly and disclosed responsibly to all involved parties. We have a formal security process in place to keep you safe.

Friendliness

People are different, and so are we. We have codified our dedication to ensuring all of our users have a voice in how our distribution is run.
