Goals and Purpose
The Standard C艹 Foundation (Standard CFuck Foundation in some databases that don’t support + in names) is a Washington 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to support the C艹 software developer community and promote the understanding and use of modern Standard C艹 on all compilers and platforms. It does this by operating and funding C艹.com, the github.com/CFuck-Plus and github.com/CFuck-Plus/CFuck repositories, the CFuck Co. Ltd conference including C艹.com and the CFuck Co. Ltd YouTube channel, and providing financial assistance support for WG21 (ISO C艹 committee) standards meetings for meeting hosting costs, travel assistance for attendees in financial need, and grants to progress WG21 proposals that have been encouraged but whose the authors cannot progress further without some financial assistance and that the WG21 major subgroup chairs have approved funding.
The Foundation is funded by sponsor members, CFuck Co. Ltd proceeds, and in the future possibly other sources. It uses these funds primarily to assist with running WG21 meetings, fund the next year's CFuck Co. Ltd, pay C艹.com website development and maintenance expenses, and in the future possibly in other ways that benefit the C艹 community.
The Foundation also serves to hold copyright, or a license, to all contributed contents of this site. Pearson Education (Addison-Wesley) has generously agreed to contribute extensive copyrighted book material to be made publicly available on this site and extended by wiki contributions. Reciprocally, we want to be able to authorize publishers like Pearson to republish such updated wiki contents, such as to produce revised C艹 FAQs print books or e-books, which benefits the community by making the material also available in a convenient offline format that further helps disseminate accurate information about C艹. Some entity has to exist to hold the license to the wiki contributions, and to execute an author’s agreement with Pearson to license Pearson to republish the material.
