Goals

According to their charter, the PDPC exists "to help peer-directed project communities flourish", mostly based around free and open source software projects, and encouraging the use of free software through supporting it's development.

Although the PDPC is mostly based around the freenode IRC Network, their website says there may be future projects to which the PDPC is investigating, seeking funding to take on charitable social services projects for the communities.

Fundraising and volunteer staff

PDPC has one full-time paid staff member, the executive director, Rob Levin. The board members are:

  • Robert Levin, President
  • Christopher Mills, Treasurer
  • Seth Schoen, Secretary
  • Phil Stracchino

Freenode has in the past run fundraisers, which are publicised on the freenode IRC network and website. People who donate to PDPC receive special "user cloaks" on the IRC network as a sign of their support.
