What is OpenPilot all about?
About the LibrePilot Project
----------------------------
The project aims at implementing the best features of all existing similar systems developed by
enthusiasts and combines them into a single, easy-to-use software/hardware package. The ease-of-use
in this case does not imply functional simplicity or compromises. There are no rigidly defined
constraints and settings, but a full-fledged programming language configuration loaded via a
Ground Control Station and other advanced features. OpenPilot is developed as a powerful platform
for all types of vehicles.
Open - Collaborative - Free
This is a non-profit project of the OpenPilot Foundation
--------------------------------------------------------
The LibrePilot open source project was founded in July 2015. It focuses on
research and development of software and hardware to be used in a variety of
applications including vehicle control and stabilization, unmanned autonomous
vehicles and robotics. One of the projects primary goals is to provide an open
and collaborative environment making it the ideal home for development of
innovative ideas.
This is a project using only volunteer personnel who have donated enormous amounts of time, money
and effort. Please respect the people that are part of the project and their generosity. OpenPilot
is funded entirely at the expense of those who spend their time and money in the development of the
public project which helps it grow. Giving complete and correct references to all their work is not
only a legal requirement of the CC-BY-SA license, but also simple respect for their work. The people
who create this project, really deserve it for their very hard work.
LibrePilot welcomes and encourages exchange and collaboration with other
projects, like adding support for existing hardware or software in
collaboration under the spirit of open source.
LibrePilot finds its roots in the OpenPilot project and the founding members
are all long-standing contributors in that project.

-------------------------------
The LibrePilot project will be governed by a board of members using consensual
methods to make important decisions and to set the overall direction of the
project.
The project provides feature-rich development and collaboration environment using advanced tools such
as GCC compilers, git, Atlassian JIRA, Confluence, FishEye, Crucible, Bamboo, Crowd, forums and blogs.
