ABOUT OPENSI
Our approach
OpenSI is taking a holistic approach to advancing capability in open source technologies, one that recognises that ideas and projects require varying research depths and efforts. Our approach will also consider that research and capability development exist at various stages of technical readiness.
The level of effort required will determine the type of project and sponsorship that will be applied to the proposal. All potential projects will be reviewed and approved by an OpenSI selection committee.
