Welcome
The Open Source Consortium represents companies that deliver solutions and advice based on Open Standards and Free & Open Source Software.
We serve our members as a trade association, giving members greater influence than they could achieve alone, by providing a collective voice to government and other public bodies.
We serve our members' clients by providing access to independent expertise in Free & Open Source companies.
We campaign ceaselessly for the use of Open Standards in all aspects of public and commercial life, promoting the unique advantages of Free & Open Source Software.
