Trustroots is a hospitality exchange network run by a UK non-profit foundation. The software is open source. It was started in December 2014 is being built by a small team of activists who felt that the world of sharing is being taken over by corporations trying to monetize people's willingness to help each other. Same team brought you also Hitchwiki, Trashwiki and Nomadwiki.
