The collective shipping open source bytes.
osbytes—open source bytes—is a collective contributing in the open wherever in our purview. We aim to fix problems at the root and leave things better than we found them.

The arc is built from 00101010 — the ASCII binary for *. That asterisk is a familiar “wildcard” character across tools, and we pack it into the open source arc / keyhole shape. 0010*1010is the same eight bits with the star called out (the byte you're looking for sits in the middle). Read as an unsigned integer, those bits are also 42 in decimal—a small nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, not what the mark is about. Add the badge to your site.
