Dotenv Foundation

Software is eating the world. It is both wonderful and terrifying (depending on how you look at it and depending on where you sit).

I believe it is wonderful because I sit in a position to shape it. I am software literate. And I am lucky to be so!

In 2002, Pepperdine University gifted me and every student 5 MB of free web space each. It was my first exposure to software - using FTP to upload an index.html file. Had Pepperdine not given me that small gift I likely would never have become software literate.

Since then my ability to understand software has unlocked untold opportunities and given me and my family a bright future.

Through Dotenv Foundation I want to give that gift to others - the gift of software literacy.

If you share the sentiment reach out and let's work together. Dotenv.org is donating 10% of its revenues toward Dotenv Foundation in pursuit of this mission.

Sincerely,

Scott Motte

The Dotenv Foundation also maintains a secondary goal - improve the .env file format standard and its tooling. This will include work toward open sourcing parts of Dotenv.org to benefit the community.
