code.3ca
TCA actively supports and promotes the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) - software that can be used, studied and modified without restriction
To make these acts possible, the human readable form of the program (called the source code) must be made available.
The source code can be placed in the public domain, accompanied by a software license saying that the copyright holder permits these acts (a free software licence).
Working with key partners across Bristol we aim to help organisations and businesses harness the value of FOSS.
One of the biggest social and economic barriers affecting people's ability to alter their economic state is a lack of ICT knowledge and skills.
The aim of code.3ca is to develop alternative solutions to licensed packages, in order to help communities overcome these barriers.
In order to achieve this aim, we provide software development and hosting as well as training and support.

A hacker manifesto
The conscience of a hacker
"There is a double spooking the world, the double of abstraction. The fortunes of states and armies, companies and communities depend on it. All contending classes - the landlords and farmers, the workers and capitalists - revere yet fear the relentless abstraction of the world on which their fortunes yet depend. All the classes but one. The hacker class." McKenzie Wark
