# 1. What is a digital commons ?

Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_commons)

The **digital commons** refers to shared [digital resources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology "Information technology")—such as software, knowledge, data, and cultural content—that are collectively produced and governed by a community and intended for public use.

However, this definition does not do justice to the project since it is mainly focused on software or digital resources but not the physical infrastructure nor devices that the software runs on. Hence, we would like to add to this.
