Apple, Microsoft Latest to Join Academy Software Foundation
Among ASWF’s open source projects is OpenTimelineIO, “an open source tool initially developed at Pixar that has been used for movies like ‘Coco,’ ‘Incredibles 2,’ and ‘Toy Story 4’.” ASWF’s other members include Amazon Web Services, Cisco, DreamWorks Animation, Google Cloud, Netflix, Red Hat, Sony Pictures, Unreal, the Visual Effects Society, Walt Disney Studios and Warner Bros, among others.
“One of these tools is the Academy Software Foundation’s Continuous Integration (CI) build infrastructure, which streamlines development for build and runtime environments,” he said. “With Apple as a new member, we hope to work with them to improve support for Apple platforms, which will continue to democratize open source software development.”
Elsewhere, ASWF’s Morin noted that Microsoft’s membership “helps us hit a significant milestone as we surpass $1M in annual funding, a solid financial base that we will use to support our open source projects, the software engineers that develop them, and the open source community in general.”
