We empower Escondido residents to run their own digital infrastructure — open budgets, community networks, and shared media — lowering costs while increasing transparency and civic ownership.
Human‑friendly dashboards that show where every dollar goes.
Open access Wi‑Fi and fiber integrations owned by the people.
Public‑domain/CC libraries and cooperative media access.
Escondido Open Source exists to return ownership of the city to its citizens. We build open, affordable, and resilient systems that let residents see clearly how money is spent, communicate freely over community‑owned networks, and access knowledge without gatekeepers.
Readable budget dashboards with raw‑data links.
Open Wi‑Fi + fiber integrations, local‑first services.
Kiwix, open data portals, and lawful shared media.
We convert raw budget PDFs into human‑first visuals. Every chart links back to source lines so anyone can verify and audit.
