What is the Open Standards Repository
The Open Standards Repository will be a location that will contain
standards relevant to the Open Source community. Standards will
include licenses, standards, protocols, RFCs, etc.
The OSR will NOT be developing standards (except for its
internal purposes). It's concept is faciliate the
interchange, maintenance, and tracking of standards
developed by the Open Source community as a whole.
There are many standards that are applicable to the Open Source
community from licenses like the GPL to file system standards.
Many of these are in the IETF RFCs. However, the problem is tracking
all those that are outside the RFCs and STDs. These often
reside in project sites or various locations around the
Internet. The object of the OSR is to collect these standards
and keep them in one central location.
Site Re-activated 6/2/2002!!
There has been much activity in open standards since this
site was originally created (and essentially ignored). The
LSB is progressing forward.
There are several other open standards sites and much interest.
With help, we can use this site for its intended purpose!
Your help is requested!
This site has been graciously hosted by
Simple End User Linux.
SEUL is a volunteer project to help Linux become an operating system that the average
user can install and operate easily. Currently SEUL is working on the non-technical
aspects of bringing Linux to end-users -- Linux in education, advocacy documents,
managing and coordinating communications between projects, coordinating feedback from
end-users, and hosting related development projects.
