The '''Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation''' ('''FOSSi Foundation''') is a non-profit foundation with the mission to promote and assist free and open digital hardware designs and their related ecosystems. It was set up by the core [[OpenRISC]] development team in response to decreasing support from the commercial owners of the [[OpenCores|opencores.org]] website.

* support and promote open standards development and their use;

* support community events and organize regular events;
