Togaware is about open source and sharing –\u00a0 sharing knowledge, experience, and services.<\/p>\n

Our name was inspired around the concept of the toga<\/a> which was a garment of Ancient Rome regarded as a sign of peace. A “toga-wearer”, or togatus, was a civilian of Rome and is contrasted with the sagum that was worn by the soldiers of war. Marcus Tullius Cicero<\/a> wrote, in about 44BC, De Officiis<\/a>, which contains the phrase cedant arma togae<\/i> which literally translates as, let arms yield to the toga. May peace replace war and military power yield to civilian power as we work towards a civilised society of humanity with a focus on new ways to care, share, and collaborate.<\/p>\n
