Outercurve Foundation

The mission of the Outercurve Foundation is to enable the exchange of code and understanding among software companies and open source communities. The Outercurve Foundation provides a framework to facilitate the participation of corporate software developers in open source projects, either through intellectual property contributions to the foundation or through time volunteered under the auspices of the foundation to enable development work on open source projects. The Outercurve Foundation also provides a channel of communication from the open source community back to Foundation sponsors and other software companies, advancing the dialog between software companies and open source communities.
