We believe in open source
We write massive amounts of code. We've contributed a lot of code to Orchard Core and many commits to Orchard CMS as well (you can see what we'll possibly contribute next here) We're the stewards and contribute continously to Orchard Core Commerce, the ecommerce module for Orchard Core. Apart from our direct contributions we've published well over 100 open-source modules and themes for Orchard. Among these is the Training Demo Module, the go-to beginner's guide for aspiring Orchard developers. Our Orchard Core extensions, as well as other suitable open-source projects of ours we also publish on NuGet.
To help people get going with and be informed about Orchard, we run the Orchard learning site Orchard Dojo. This includes free tutorials, other learning resources, and a top-rated weekly blog post series on what happens in the Orchard community (it's also available as a newsletter).
So others can see Orchard in action, we publish Orchard videos on our YouTube channel. This includes the recordings of the Orchard community's weekly meetings, Orchard Core demos, video tutorials, and more.
As a gallery of exemplary Orchard websites, we run Show Orchard.
To serve as the heartbeat of the Orchard blogosphere, we've created Orchard Blogs, an aggregated stream of Orchard-related blog posts.
So people can try Orchard CMS without anything; we host Try Orchard!! Where you can test-drive Orchard on demo sites. This runs on DotNest, our public Orchard SaaS.
We also constantly give feedback and share our opinions during our weekly meetings and in the issue tracker so that we can help steer the project in the right direction and provide a hand to fellow Orchard contributors and users when needed.
Send us your project!
We periodically check on the people and projects we sponsor to see if they're still active, as well as add new ones. We're on the lookout for more amazing projects, so certainly let us know if you know of one! We want to support smaller, less popular but still important projects that are otherwise under the radar of most people.
Note that while some of the open-source contributors we support also do contract work with us, the support is independent of that: We don't and will never ask for any favours in exchange, the support is for the contributor's existing activities.
