Abstract
The Academy Software Foundation (ASWF) was created to increase the quality and quantity of open source contributions by developing a governance model, legal framework and community infrastructure that lowers the barrier to entry for developing and using open source software. Goals include providing a neutral forum to coordinate cross-project efforts; establishing best practices and shared resources across the motion picture and broader media industries; developing an open continuous integration (CI) and build infrastructure to enable reference builds from the community and alleviate issues caused by siloed development; providing individuals and organizations with a clear path for participation and code contribution; streamlining development for build and runtime environments through the sharing of open source build configurations, scripts and recipes; and providing better, more consistent licensing through a shared licensing template.
