V1

The first Grey software was built by myself, a number of paid students, and volunteers. It started in May 2020 and ended in August 2020. During this time, the organization was focused on teaching a handful of students to build out our portfolio of apps which included Toonin, Material Math, and the Focus extensions.

The second Grey Software was an organization that was formally registered in Canada, but the students that were working with me in the summer had to move back to school or on to bigger things. At this time, I moved back to Pakistan and tried to climb the pioneer tournament ranks. The structural problems present as a result of a lone wolf mentality from the first Grey software were still present, but I learned and discovered new technologies, and built important open-source relationships.

The third Grey software was an attempt to restructure the organization into a functioning organism that

• Effectively moves financial capital towards open source creators and teachers
• Sets up a technologically empowering environment for creative humans to maximize their contributing potential
• Delivers useful products for humans
• Runs successful for-credit programs with universities

V4 is an attempt to organize and consolidate all of the progress we have made as an organization in our first year of being registered as a not-for-profit in Canada.

We have never had a more solid and committed team, and we have never been more equipped with previous work we've done that has helped us get a solid understanding of the landscape of software technology.

As the new year dawns for thousands of software students around the world, let's meet them with something incredible.
