we are an open community
The Foundation For Open Source Ecosystem Technology (FOSET) is centered on Open Source development to better serve the public sector, academic institutions, and non-profit organizations. FOSET acts as a home for the technology, its associated documentation and governance, and the community of individuals and organizations that support it.
Open Source, Open Data, Open Hardware, and Open Research have a huge impact on the global community. To best support this worldwide group, we prioritize diversity and inclusion, work hard to feature accessibility tools, and actively promote contributions from underrepresented participants, ensuring access to the diverse perspectives that drive innovation.
We are a collaborative organization bringing together a variety of stakeholders in the broader Open Source Ecosystem to work on best practices and standards in Open Work. FOSET will collaborate on best practices in governance with guidance from other Open Communities of Practice to better manage and guide the technologies many have come to depend on. Some examples include GGI from the OSPO Alliance and OS-GOV at the Eclipse Foundation, among others. We hope that these efforts will simplify the creation of a worldwide interoperable Public Digital Infrastructure.
