CivicActions, Inc. is a services firm that provides technological support with a focus on free and open-source software to agencies.
They were the early adopters of Drupal (that they are a service provider now[4]), Openwall Linux, and CiviCRM with its native mobile app CiviMobile.
In early 2016, CivicActions co-founder Aaron Pava was recruited to join the United States Digital Service team in Washington DC to assist the federal government in transforming procurement practices to enable federal agencies to more easily procure services from small businesses like CivicActions.
[10] Gregory Heller and Henry Poole, who are both involved in Free Software Foundation and CivicActions, with the help of Peter T. Brown who was the president of FSF, have played major role in the formation of Defective by Design, an anti-DRM campaign advocating for elimination of digital restrictions.
In 2016, they worked with the Defense Security Cooperation Agency in creating GlobalNet, a collaboration and social media platform.[11][12][better source needed].
