Our work would not be possible without the larger open source community.

The foundation of SecureDrop Workstation is `Qubes OS`_.
The backbone of SecureDrop Workstation is `Qubes OS`_.
FPF has directly sponsored Qubes OS development, and we encourage you to

SecureDrop Workstation uses `Whonix <https://www.whonix.org/>`_ to maintain
connectivity with the Tor network. You can `make a donation to the Whonix project <https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Donate>`_.
We use the `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_ programming language and
ecosystem, which you can support by `donating to the Python Software Foundation <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/>`_.

In addition, SecureDrop Workstation relies on other open source projects such as
`grsecurity <https://www.grsecurity.net>`_, `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_,
`Debian <https://www.debian.org/>`_, `Fedora <https://fedoraproject.org/>`_,

contributing to these projects as well.
SecureDrop Workstation VMs are powered by `Debian <https://www.debian.org/>`_,

of which rely on volunteer contributions and financial support. The
`GNOME <https://www.gnome.org/>`_ project acts as an umbrella for many of the individual
software components we rely on.
