About FAIR

The FAIR Package Manager is a Linux Foundation project dedicated to improving the stability, resilience, and openness of content management systems, officially known as FAIR Package Manager a Series of LF Projects, LLC.

Its primary focus is an open-source system for publishing, discovering, and installing software packages including plugins, themes, and extensions. Rather than centralizing in one directory, FAIR enables a federated network of independent repositories. This approach increases reliability, encourages innovation, and gives users and developers more choice.

What You Can Do With FAIR

• For site owners and end-users: Install and update extensions from multiple trusted sources without depending on one provider.
• For developers: Publish your work in a decentralized network and retain control over your distribution.
• For communities and organizations: Host your own repository to serve your members, customers, or niche audiences.

How We Work

FAIR is developed in the open by a global community of contributors, supported by the Linux Foundation's neutral governance. The Technical Steering Committee oversees technical direction, and contributions span code, testing, documentation, translations, and community engagement.
