About us

Gurkult
An Open Source Cult

We're the first and only open source community. We believe in, well, cucumbers, which is what the Swedish word “gurka” means in English. We just want to have some fun and develop fantastic projects together, all as Gurkans.

We believe in cucumbers

And cucumbers believe in us. We are the first and only open source cult, and we're proud of it. We're a community of developers, designers, and other creative people, who love to create and have fun together.

Open source

Since we believe in open source and open collaboration, all of our projects are publicly available on GitHub.

Fun

We are a community of people who love to create and have fun together.

Gurkans

The cucumbers are the ones who guide us through our journey, and they are the ones we believe in.

Organization

In order to effectively spread our Gurkan cult, we have clear roles to help move the community forward.
