PowerShell.org is an activity of The DevOps Collective, Inc., a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity. We have no legal owners; by definition, we are owned by the US public. As a charity, it is a violation of US law for any individual or entity to gain a financial benefit (e.g., a profit) from the organization. Thus, we do not have shareholders or other owners.
Our Mission
We have two broad goals within the PowerShell and DevOps community:
- Provide educational opportunities to members of the community either for free or at a break-even cost
- Provide members of the community with opportunities (and a platform from which) to help each other
