In order to maintain our identity and values, the first step is to identify and describe them. It is important to understand that Collabora’s core is its people. The culture at Collabora has been shaped by values and ideologies that derive from the Open Source community.
At Collabora, we love to learn, including by trial and error. Making mistakes is an integral part of everyone’s education, development and professional journey. We do not hide our mistakes as we want others to also learn from them. We do not disparage the ones who are learning by making mistakes. So yes, it is OK to make mistakes. Let us learn together and do better next time.
When you care about something, you put a lot of time and energy into it. That passion that we hold for software leads to mastery of our craft. This affords us the opportunity to work and share our knowledge with the top technology organizations in the world. If you thrive for technical excellence, there is no better place for you than at Collabora.
Our Values
These are the values we live by at Collabora.
Care
The best word to describe us is care. We are passionate about software and technology. Most of us have been hacking technology for as long as we can remember; we do it both for fun and to fulfill our passion, and we are not stopping anytime soon.
Autonomy
We are self-taught and motivated to continuously improve, learn and seek out our future direction. Collabora provides some guidelines and pointers, but we each charter our own way. We are enabled to seek out the information we require to learn and grow. Nonetheless, Collabora does its best to offer the support required by our people as they embark on their self-improvement journey.
Open
Being part of the Open Source community, we believe in a world of shared knowledge and collaboration for the advancement of humanity. We are always enthusiastic about sharing, teaching and learning with everyone around them. A world lush with freely available knowledge is a better world.
Diverse, Inclusive
We aim to be a diverse and inclusive organization. Collabora understands that providing a safe and welcoming environment to all is challenging and demands a big commitment. We must improve, take actions, and rectify mistakes to the best of our ability.
Humanity, Social Purpose, Community
Following our raison d'être Collabora's main focus is to improve and advance humanity via Free and Open Source software. Every single shareholder believes in this as a primary motivation for getting out of bed and coming to work. Making money is important, but there is more at Collabora that procures us a sense of purpose.
Having a Voice
Everyone is able to weigh in on any discussion or decision. It is our job as a company to make our projects and decisions available company-wide in order to allow everyone to share their thoughts and ideas. All at Collabora must feel that they can contribute across the board and that their opinions are heard and valued, even in areas outside their core expertise.
