Open ecosystems we collaborate with
EoS doesn't exist in isolation. We co-author specs, share infrastructure, and cross-pollinate with the broader open-source embedded and OSS communities.
Member-governed. Open by default.
The EoS Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Board is elected by sustaining members. Every governance vote is published within 48 hours with full member-by-member breakdown. Working groups operate by lazy consensus with public RFCs.
