About us

NewPipe e.V. is a non-profit organization. It got founded at the end of 2022 in order to use the donations the app NewPipe was receiving with a transparent legal entity goverened by its members. The goal of this association is to support technology that enables using digital media or improves access to it, especially if it is free and open source.

We want to realize this goal through the following means:
  • * organize public briefings, conferences or congresses
  • * support projects which develop such technology, especially via financial support for their members
  • * engage in public relations activities and provide advertising materials for projects

These goals and everything required legally to run an association for these goals is written down in our statue, which we link to on this page. We also provide a best effort English translation of it, but legally binding is the German one.

The organization is governed by these two board members. They make day to day decisions and represent the organization. Every half year they have a meeting which every member can attend.
