OBI operates as a consortium consisting of two parts. Firstly, a Coordinating Committee, which itself is composed of Community Representatives and Core Developers. The Developers Working Group is the second part of the OBI Consortium. The OBI Consortium also has Supporting Groups who are committed to the use, development and growth of OBI. They have have provided resources in the form of contributions from their group members and support of their attendance at OBI meetings.
We have begun discussions on restructuring OBI and will document this at OBI Consortium Future.
The OBI Coordinating Committee
The representives of the communities participating in the development of OBI. Please note that the starting date of a CC member is the date they started in the Coordinating Committee, and not the overall date of joining OBI, which could be earlier.
