Introducing the CoMaps Logo!

We're proud to reveal the logo for CoMaps — designed and chosen by the community.

From maps to code to design, CoMaps is 100% community-powered — and this logo is no different. It’s a symbol of what we’re building together: free, open, and offline map navigation for everyone.

The winning logo was created by @Flummic. The initial round had 21 logos submitted, resulting in 6 finalists, followed by an iteration process where people collaborated to make improvements (https://codeberg.org/comaps/Governance/issues/78).

Thank you to everyone who shaped this milestone. We’re just getting started.

The XLIBRE Technical Bifurcation of the Graphic Server X.ORG unmasks the intrinsic policy of the Foss Ecosystem: its project rejects codes of conduct and initiatives ofi, explaining a conservative ideological agenda. This reflects the historical tension between the free software movement (ethical, focused on user liberties) and the Open Source (pragmatic, focused on technical efficiency), whose fusion under the term "foss" is fragile. Any technical decision - forms, language changes or licenses - redistributes power: altera hierarchies of expertise, controls infrastructure and defines who participate in the development culture. Thus, protocols such as Wayland vs.11 or Copyleft (GPL) vs permissive (MIT) embody battles for values, not just efficiency. Ignore this human dimension - Igo, fear of obsolescence, struggle for influence - is to deny that the code is a political artifact where control over users and developers materializes. Survival in the AI era and surveillance capitalism requires choosing flags: technical neutrality is a myth.
