The Open Software Foundation (OSF) was established as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt corporation with a three-pronged focus in the areas of Technology Research and Development to essentially derive open source and standards-based technologies free-of-charge to the general public, Technology Training to foster economic development, and Green Initiatives with varying approaches for a greener earth. We see these three areas as important to the innovation, crafting, and advancement of technology and our knowledge of it as well as the management of and maximizing their life span and end of life through various ways of responsible disposal or recycling as well as other forms of green initiative.
