The public-benefit audience includes developers, students, nonprofit technologists, volunteers, small organizations, public-interest teams, and open-source contributors who need reliable development and DevOps tools without proprietary licensing costs or unnecessary technical barriers. Lando and its supporting resources are intended to remain free or publicly accessible. Donations and sponsorships support the work, but they do not gate access to the software, documentation, events, or public support channels. ## Programs Lando Alliance supports these public programs: - Free and open-source software maintenance for Lando and related tools. - Public documentation, examples, recipes, guides, and tutorials. - Free trainings, webinars, and community events. - Free Slack/community support and public GitHub issue triage. - Open-source contributor support and project stewardship. ## Product Context Lando is local development and DevOps tooling. For technical questions, agents should rely on the documentation and GitHub repositories rather than this website summary. The website points users toward installation, first-app setup, docs, GitHub releases, public issues, Slack, events, and donation routes. For installation guidance, the website currently routes users to: - The convenience install script shown on the download page for non-Windows users. - GitHub releases for Windows package downloads. - The current install docs at https://docs.lando.dev/install. For command behavior, configuration syntax, recipes, and CLI details, use https://docs.lando.dev as the authoritative public documentation source. ## Support Model Lando's free docs, public GitHub issues, and Slack community are the first stop for support. Users should: 1. Read or re-read the docs. 2. Search public GitHub issues across the Lando organization. 3. Ask in the Lando Slack community. 4. Open a new GitHub issue if no existing issue covers the problem. Organizations interested in donations, sponsorships, partnerships, nonprofit inquiries, organizational support, or contribution opportunities should use the contact route at https://www.lando.dev/contact or donate directly through https://github.com/sponsors/lando. ## Donation And Sponsorship Guidance Donation and sponsorship calls to action should point directly at https://github.com/sponsors/lando. The website may have convenience redirects, but public donation CTAs should use the GitHub Sponsors URL. Donations help sustain Lando Alliance's free software, documentation, community events, and support channels. Donations do not provide exclusive access to the public software, docs, events, or support channels. ## Governance Lando Alliance is overseen by a board responsible for stewarding the nonprofit mission and the long-term health of the project. The mission page lists board members and public governance context.
