Free Standards Group

The Free Standards Group is an industry non-profit consortium that primarily specifies and drives the adoption of the open source standards. All standards developed by the Free Standards Group are released under open terms (currently the GNU Free Documentation License with no cover texts or invariant sections) and test suites, reference implementations and other software are released as open source.

  • The Open Internationalization Initiative (OpenI18N) is a standard that creates a foundation for language globalization of compliant distributions and applications.
  • The Linux Assigned Names and Numbers Authority (LANANA)
  • OpenPrinting is creating a scalable printing architecture and high-level requirements for a standardized printing system.
  • Accessibility is developing accessibility standards for free and open source platforms.
