Giving Voice to the Future: Support OpenVoiceOS in establishing a non-profit association.
OpenVoiceOS (OVOS) is a collective of programmers and hardware enthusiasts who produce an open-source voice assistant. We formed in 2019-2020 as an offshoot of the Mycroft community, bringing a handful of third-party projects under one roof. Our projects have been an extension of MycroftAI projects and core technologies itself, which slowly became independent of its parent.
Over the years, We’ve been operating in a manner of an soft fork and a non entity for over two years without giving the arrangements much thought.
