osAlliance - turns research into results
Our alliance is a free software co-op. Our mission is to support internet and media professionals by using and maintaining free software. Applying the co-op model, we are providing services in close co-operation with our members.
osAlliance stresses user-friendly mediation and representative
implementation of its solutions. Serving a research and customer
network of more than 100 partners and members, osAlliance is
grounded with interdisciplinary competence and driven by market forces.
Within international research projects, osAlliance focuses on
moderation of users and developers in all phases of a project, starting
with user requirements, during development reviews and ending up with
demonstration and successful exploitation activities.
Together with our members and partners we develop open source software, create
innovative multi-media content, work out marketing concepts, organize
media events and participate in media art festivals and international
standardization activities.
