ELL-i cooperative is an open source cooperative acting as the “foundation” in a foundation-corporate open source management pattern.

We spun off of Helsinki Hacklab and have been doing IoT related software and hardware to create a holistic system for anybody to use for hobby or commercial purposes.

The ELL-i category is for any discussion that is specific to ELL-i technology in any way. We can split into subcategories when necessary and hope to integrate with ELL-i main site.
