OpenSAF Foundation

The OpenSAF Foundation was founded in January 2008 with Emerson Network Power, Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks, HP and Sun Microsystems as founding members with a goal of accelerating the adoption of the OpenSAF code base in commercial products.

For those not familiar with the OpenSAF project, Emerson Network Power has developed a training series around this open source project, which was established to develop a base platform middleware consistent with Service Availability Forum™ (SA Forum) specifications, under the LGPLv2.1 license.
