Resources
Tools, partnerships, and support for the people who make free flight happen.
Run better events.
Work with CBF.
Running a free flight competition is complex work — volunteer coordination, site logistics, task planning, safety briefings, registration, and more. We want to make that easier.
The Cloudbase Foundation is partnering with event organizers to provide free access to an open-source volunteer and event staffing management platform — built by pilots, for the free flight community. Coordinate your crew, manage roles, track availability, and communicate with your team in one place.
Working with CBF also connects your event to a network of pilots, publications, and partners who care about the sport. It's good for your event, and it helps us build the visibility we need to keep funding community projects worldwide.
Open source
Free for free flight events. Forever.
- Volunteer role management
- Shift scheduling & availability

The volunteer & staffing tool
An open-source platform designed for the realities of running a free flight event.
Volunteer management
Recruit, organize, and communicate with your volunteer crew in one place. Assign roles, track sign-ups, and manage your roster.
Shift scheduling
Set availability windows, assign shifts, and handle last-minute changes without the spreadsheet chaos.
Team communication
Built-in messaging and announcements keep your whole team on the same page — from setup day through awards.
Task tracking
Break your event into tasks, assign owners, and track completion. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Safety briefing logs
Record who attended which briefings. Useful for your records and peace of mind.
Post-event reporting
Export volunteer hours, role summaries, and participation data after your event.
The volunteer management tool is currently in active development and will be released as open source. Event organizers who engage with CBF early will get priority access and the opportunity to shape the feature roadmap.

We bring more than tools.
Community reach
CBF has been part of the free flight world since 2010. We're connected to pilots, schools, manufacturers, and publications like Cross Country Magazine. Working with us puts your event in front of that network.
Fundraising opportunities
Events that work with CBF can create donation pages that let their pilot community give back between competitions. It costs nothing and builds goodwill.
Mission alignment
Pilots who know CBF's work are proud to be part of it. Associating your event with a nonprofit that does real good in the communities where we fly is something your participants will appreciate.
