About the organization
BBJProjeK began in June 2019, founded by Gabriel Howard and Sergio Fernández. It started not as an organization, but as a conviction, that developers needed a common place and a shared infrastructure designed to elevate how open-source software is built.
Our years of hands-on experience and philosophy of open collaboration drive to a solid, unified infrastructure where developers, designers, and engineers can bring ambitious ideas to life and extend their careers.
We believe the future of open source needs an ecosystem that is increasingly interconnected, secure, and supportive. To achieve this, we operate with a mindset of mentorship and continuous learning, creating a curated space where seasoned professionals guide emerging talent.
And what makes this possible is our people. Both those who are part of our cross-functional working groups and those in our extended network of collaborators. That is why we build our community on a foundation of radical collaboration and shared knowledge.
Infrastructure
We provide a modern, elastic backbone for all our members. From unlimited storage and build hours on the BBJProjeK CDN to secure communication on XasPos Messenger and collaborative development on our GitLab CE instance, every resource is powered by SwiftLynx Security.
Our infrastructure is governed with precision, guided by our Operations Working Group and the strategic RaBBAu Internal Notes from the Ragyxo foundation. For a deeper dive, the BBJProjeK Handbook serves as our living blueprint.

Our strength lies in the specialized talents of our working groups. They are dedicated teams covering legal, operations, development, and design. Below are some of our standout members who drive innovation and uphold our open-source ethos.
