        <h2 id="tagline">Open Source 3D Printer Driver</h2>
        <p class="text-justify">First created in 2011 for RepRap and Ultimaker by <a href="//github.com/ErikZalm">Erik van der Zalm</a> et. al., today Marlin drives most of the world's 3D printers. Reliable and precise, Marlin delivers outstanding print quality while keeping you in full control of the process.</p>
        <p>As an <a href="//opensource.org/">Open Source</a> project hosted on <a href="//github.com/">Github</a>, Marlin is owned and maintained by the maker community. <a href="{{ '/docs/development/contributing.html' }}" >Learn how you can contribute!</a></p>
