Clojars is Conservancy's Newest Member Project

Software Freedom Conservancy is pleased to 
announce the addition of Clojars as its 
newest member project. Clojars is a 
community-maintained repository for free and 
open source libraries written in the Clojure 
programming language.  Clojars emphasizes 
ease of use, publishing library packages that 
are simple to use with build automation 
tools.

Conservancy is a non-profit public charity 
focused on ethical technology. It provides a 
home to its member projects that develop free 
and open source software. Conservancy helps 
its projects run as charitable initiatives 
without having to independently undertake the 
effort to do it on their own. Joining 
Conservancy allows projects to collect 
donations, hold assets, and provide some 
liability protection for their lead 
developers' project-related activities.

"Clojars is proud to join Software Freedom 
Conservancy," said Toby Crawley, 
co-maintainer of the Clojars project. "This 
will help us continue to develop Clojars, to 
engage with corporations using Clojars, and 
to create new programs and funding 
initiatives to support the growing Clojure 
community."

Conservancy Evaluation Committee member Tom 
Marble commented, "As a Clojure developer I 
am pleased to welcome Clojars to Conservancy 
because both value community, collaboration 
and diversity.  Clojars provides a popular 
network repository for Clojure and 
ClojureScript packages. It is an essential 
part of the Clojure development ecosystem. I 
expect that as a member project, with 
Conservancy's guidance, Clojars will grow and 
thrive."
