Digital Literacy Programme by the Digital Circle – Open Source Tools Database

Part of our Mission is to Increase digital literacy throughout the permaculture movement.

We do this by providing a free to access Open Source Tools Database for permaculture and permaculture aligned projects.

Access the Open Source Tools Database

Welcome to the Open Source Tools Database, the database has over 200+ open source digital tools that can be used for all kinds of activities suitable for individuals and organisations who care about the impact of their choices, on the world and the people in it.

This project started in 2023 as a way to increase awareness of the open source software tools to the Permaculture community and movement. This database is searchable via different filters enabling you, to filter by use case, operating system comparability and also identify which options the Digital Circle can help you with.
