Escape Silibandia is an outgrowth of an effort by The Authenticity Institute to identify open source components for its public HCI platform. We’re happy to share the results of our research here, and we’ll try to keep the list up to date.
The Escape Silibandia list is mostly a compilation of the contents of other lists of what we call Freedom Projects. We assemble it all on one long page, which we hope will simplify your search for open source projects that are working to free people from Silibandia, starting by helping the open source groups to be aware of each other.
Silibandia, “Open Source,” and Decentralization
Escape Silibandia is not just about open source or decentralization, but also about recognizing and challenging the structures of control built by Silicon Valley and its ecosystem.
Silibandia thrives on the distracting debates over licensing and decentralization, which often divert attention from the real problem. That problem is an entrenched digital system that thrives on stolen information about everyone’s habits, relationships, beliefs and affiliations, with the intent of keeping us all down on Silibandia’s plantation.
Silibandia’s power lies in its ability to quietly integrate into our daily lives, while masking itself behind the allure of convenience and connectivity.
“Open Source” is in quotes because the term is used for everything from a sneaky way of presenting “try before you buy” commercial software to Richard Stallman’s original principle of creating environments where anything proprietary is excluded by means of licensing terms.
Perhaps we should say that Escape Silibandia is for groups that deal only with source code that is available on reasonable terms, paid or unpaid, with or without strings attached. We don’t get hung up on licenses and terms as long as the source is reasonably available.
As Eron Wolf puts it, “The obvious meaning for the expression ‘open source software’ is ‘You can look at the source code.’” We accept that definition of open source.
Eyes On The Prize
Having a big collection of software that’s independent of Silibandia is nice, but unless that software is deployed into sustainable action to give human beings a means to escape the enveloping clutches of Silibandia, then…
...well, then human beings lose the fight in spite of an abundance of resources. 
The goal of the Authenticity public HCI is Sustainable Freedom – more about that here. We hope this collection of information about open source projects is useful toward that end.
Needless to say, there is no implied statement of fitness for any particular purpose of the projects in this list.
Additions to this list, as well as clarifications and corrections, are more than welcome. This is just a start.
