Support, events, and infrastructure for the people and projects of the Atmosphere.

  • The conference(s)

    We run the flagship AtmosphereConf—the 2027 edition is coming to the Netherlands!—and provide support for regional offline/hybrid gatherings.

  • Login with Atmosphere

    We have a small team focusing on user research, branding, and UI/code recommendations for a standardized, user-friendly approach to atproto-powered logins. This has been underway since the beginning of September, and you'll hear more from this project soon.

  • Shared infrastructure

    Shared infrastructure to support development for the benefit of the Atmosphere, operational needs of the conference & co-op. The Community Infrastructure Circle leads this.

  • Community Fund

    Carrying forward the AT Community Fund's grants, projects, and institutional memory.

  • …and more

    As the co-op forms, there are many ideas and people who want to get involved. Like the current working group model in the forum, we'll look to provide support to circle leads and members, and talk about what resources and infrastructure can help.

What the Community Fund Made Possible

The AT Community Fund was fiscally hosted by the Raft Foundation. It supported the 2025 and 2026 Atmosphere Conferences and many other projects and gatherings. The co-op is a separate, member-governed organization that carries forward the Fund's projects and institutional memory into a form with transparent self-governance and accountability.
