Welcome!

We're glad you're here.

Ideas on Board is a small, thoughtful consultancy working at the heart of the Linux and open-source community. Most of us have been writing software for decades - and most of us still prefer writing code to managing people. That’s not a flaw in the system; it’s part of who we are.

We work with hardware vendors, chipmakers, and device manufacturers to build open-source multimedia solutions, especially camera software for Linux systems. If you’re here, it likely means you care about the quality of your work, the freedom of your tools, and collaborating with people who take their craft seriously.

We’re a distributed team, working remotely across Europe and beyond. We catch up online, meet in person when we can, and generally try to keep things simple, transparent, and human. You’ll find autonomy here but also a shared sense of purpose that keeps us moving in the same direction.

This handbook is a living guide to how we work together. If anything feels unclear, ask. If you spot something missing, contribute. You’re part of this now.

Welcome aboard.
