Ardeshir is a volunteer collective of Iranian monarchists, and friends of the Iranian nation. We build free software for the Iranian people. We do it under rules that keep the work careful, reviewable, and permanent once released.
Membership is by invitation. Each project has a maintainer. Every change is reviewed.
The collective is closed. Its internal records are visible to members only. Released software is open source and cannot be taken back from the people it was built for.
We work for the Iranian people and against the Islamic Republic’s surveillance, censorship, and control. The politics are not decorative. They explain why the work exists and why this site speaks plainly.
