The survey found that almost 84% of the industry uses open source software, particularly for animation and visual effects, but challenges including siloed development, managing multiple versions of OSS libraries (versionitis) and varying governance and licensing models need to be addressed in order to ensure a healthy open source community.</p></blockquote> <p>Blogpost on the main SIGGRAPH site: <a href="https://blog.siggraph.org/2018/08/what-is-the-academy-software-foundation.html/" target="_blank">What is the Academy Software Foundation?</a></p> <p>The foundation can be found here: <a href="https://www.aswf.io/" target="_blank">https://www.aswf.io/</a></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-content-release field-type-list-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Copyright of material posted on external sites is governed by the policy of the hosting site</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-cgtype field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Category: </h3><ul class="links inline"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/cgsource/category/online-resource" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Online Resource</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-field-cgtag field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Subject / Topic: </h3><ul class="links inline"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/cgsource/subject/2D_imaging" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">2D Imaging</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1"><a href="/cgSource/subject/computer-graphics-programs" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Computer Graphics Programs</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-field-keywords field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Keywords: </h3><ul class="links inline"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/cgsource/keywords/open-source" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Open Source</a></li></ul></div> Thu, 28 Mar 2019 17:09:16 +0000 wobbe 326 at https://education.siggraph.org https://education.siggraph.org/cgsource/content/academy-software-foundation#comments
