<section id="mission">
<h1>Mission</h1>
<p>Garrity Software aims to produce high quality software while supporting a
small number of employees, enabling them to work less, spend time with their
families, and pursue their own interests. GS also aims to provide open source
software for everyone to use, and to financially support open source
development.</p>
<h2 id="donations">Donations</h2>
<p>If you want to support the GS mission or open source work, please consider
<a href="donate.html">donating</a> to the founder.</p>
<h2 id="roadmap">Roadmap and Progress</h2>
<p>The GS vision is non-trivial to achieve. Quality open source projects are a
starting point, but supporting employees and open source projects requires
products and income. GS </p>

<h1>Sustainable Organization</h1>
<p>Garrity Software is focused on operating in a sustainable way that promotes
a particular operating model and lifestyle, rather than pursuing unbounded
growth. We define such an organization in the following way, specifically
catered to a small company vision:</p>
<ul>
<li>Establish core products that produce reliable income.</li>
<li>The company is never beholden to external investors.</li>
<li>The company does not spend money it does not have.</li>
<li>Minimize pursuit of growth after supporting five total employees.</li>
<li>Employees reliably work four day weeks (or less).</li>
<li>Employees receive a comfortable income that accounts for benefits and allows them to support their families.</li>
<li>Once stability is achieved, funding is set aside to donate to other open source and sustainable projects.</li>
</ul>
<p>Minimizing growth does not mean that work will cease, rather that the focus
might change to open source development, targeted product improvements, and
starting new products that align with employee interests, with a smaller focus
on sales or increasing revenue in general.</p>
