About ConsortiumInfo.org
The goal of ConsortiumInfo.org is to be the most comprehensive source of information on the Internet regarding standards setting and open source software development, and about the roles these essential tools play in business and society.
Essential Guide to Standards
The Essential Guide is a concise handbook for anyone who wants to understand standards and standards development from a hands-on perspective: how to decide what standard setting organization (SSO) to join, how to get the most out of one after you do, and how to create an SSO if the right one doesn’t already exist.
