At OS-SCi, we believe that open source is not just about taking—it’s about giving back. Over the past year, we’ve taken significant steps to support the Lomiri ecosystem, fostering innovation and empowering developers to shape the future of open-source technology.
Supporting Lomiri Through Bounty Programs
We launched the Lomiri Bounty Program to incentivize contributions and drive improvements in the Lomiri platform. Through this initiative, we’ve paid out €2,050 in bounties, directly supporting developers who are passionate about enhancing Lomiri’s capabilities. Every line of code, every bug fixed, and every feature added brings us closer to a more robust and user-friendly open-source ecosystem.
Investing in the Future: Silver Sponsorship of UBports
Our commitment doesn’t stop there. OS-SCi is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of UBports, contributing an additional €15,000 to support their mission. UBports plays a pivotal role in advancing Ubuntu Touch and Lomiri, and we’re honored to stand alongside them in this journey. By investing in UBports, we’re investing in the future of open-source mobile technology—ensuring it remains accessible, innovative, and community-driven.
Fostering Collaboration: Lomiri Codefest 2026
This May, we’re taking our support a step further by hosting the Lomiri Codefest on May 16–17. This event brings together 80 students from technical universities across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France. Participants will dive deep into Lomiri app development, armed with resources like the Lomiri App Development Book 1 & 2 and our latest whitepaper. Our goal? To inspire the next generation of open-source developers and create a vibrant community around Lomiri.
Beyond Lomiri: Educating the Next Generation of Open-Source Engineers
Our support for Lomiri is just one part of what we do at OS-SCi. We are deeply committed to education and creating pathways for the next generation of open-source engineers. Through our modular open-source IT program, we offer real-world experience and certifications in areas like Logics, Software Engineering, Research, Security, Linux, Python, Rust, and more. We visualize open-source education as a set of Lego bricks—each module building on the last, allowing students to customize their learning journey.
We also collaborate with universities and open-source companies to provide internships, specializations, and employment opportunities. Our goal is to equip students with the skills and experience they need to thrive in the open-source world, whether they’re developing apps, contributing to core projects, or leading innovation in their own communities.
Why We Do It
At OS-SCi, we see open source as a collaborative effort—a cycle of giving and receiving. By supporting Lomiri and investing in education, we’re not just contributing to projects; we’re nurturing a movement. We’re empowering developers, fostering innovation, and ensuring that open-source technology remains a force for good.
Join us in this journey. Whether you’re a developer, a student, or an open-source enthusiast, there’s a place for you in the Lomiri community and beyond. Together, we can build a future where technology is open, accessible, and driven by the collective efforts of passionate individuals.
Let’s shape the future of open source—one contribution at a time.
