Open Web Foundation to Keep Data 'Open'
The Open Web Foundation launches at OSCON with a focus on keeping open-source community efforts open and unfettered.The effort is backed by individuals and companies such as Facebook, Google and MySpace.
A coalition of individuals and corporate backers are creating the Open Web Foundation, an attempt to create a home for community-driven specifications following the open-source model similar to the Apache Software Foundation.
The group was announced July 24 here at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention,
Geir Magnusson, an ASF director, who was among the group that helped set the organization in motion, said the Open Web Foundation will be a success if it can take the concept of the Apache Software Foundation's incubator and help to enable open source communities to deal with legal issues and intellectual property concerns.
"However, we don't want it to be another standards body," Magnusson said.
