About our Name
Rovar is the Belarusian word for "bicycle" (spelled "ровар" in Belarusian and "rower" in Polish). The bicycle epitomizes the advantages of Open Source software: freedom, low cost and long term sustainability.

OAO signifies the form of incorporation, roughly equivalent to "Inc.". In Russian it stands for Открытое Акционерное Общество (Otkritoe Aktionernoe Obshestvo), which translates literally as "Open Stock Society". In Belarusian the abbreviation is ААТ (Адкрытае акцыянернае таварыства, Аdkritae Aktianernae Tavaristvo). This form of incorporation was chosen instead of the more common ZAO because it allows flexibility in the distribution of stock.
