- The Open Software Foundation (OSF) was a not-for-profit organization founded in 1988 under the U. S. National Cooperative Research Act of 1984 to create an open standard for an implementation of the UNIX operating system. The organization was first proposed by Armando Stettner of Digital Equipment Corporation at a by-invitation-only meeting hosted by DEC for several UNIX system vendors to be an organization for joint development, mostly in response to the threat of the unilateral 'merged UNIX system' efforts by AT&T and Sun Microsystems. The foundation's original sponsoring members were Apollo Computer, Groupe Bull, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Nixdorf Computer, and Siemens AG, sometimes called the "Gang of Seven". Later sponsor members included Philips and Hitachi with the broader general membership growing to more than a hundred companies. The sponsors gave OSF significant funding, a broad mandate (the so-called "Seven Principles"), a fair measure of independence as well as support from sponsor senior management. Of note, senior operational executives from the sponsoring companies served on OSF's initial Board of Directors and worked intensively to ensure the organization would be successful. One of the Seven Principles was declaration of an "Open Process" whereby OSF staff would create Request for Proposals for source technologies to be selected by OSF, in a vendor neutral process. The selected technology would be licensed by the OSF to the public. Membership in the organization gave member companies a voice in the process for requirements. At the founding, five Open Process projects were named (described later). The founding of the organization was largely seen as a response to the collaboration between AT&T and Sun Microsystems on UNIX System V Release 4, and a fear that other vendors would be locked out of the standardization process. This led Scott McNealy of Sun to quip that "OSF" really stood for "Oppose Sun Forever. " The competition between the opposing versions of UNIX systems became known as the UNIX wars. AT&T founded the UNIX International (UI) project management organization later that year as a counter-response to the OSF. UI was led by Peter Cunningham as its President formerly of ICL. UI had many of the same characteristics of OSF with the exception of a software development staff - UNIX System Laboratories (USL) filled the software development role - and thus UI was based in Parsippany, New Jersey to be close to USL. The executive staff of the Open Software Foundation was a "who's who" of the computer industry and included David Tory, President formerly of Computer Associates; Norma Clarke, Vice-President Human Resources formerly of Mitre Corp. ; Marty Ford, Vice-President Finance formerly of Digital Equipment Corp. ; Ira Goldstein, Vice-President Research Institute formerly of Hewlett-Packard; Roger Gourd, Vice-President Engineering formerly of Digital Equipment Corp. ; Alex Morrow, Vice-President Strategy formerly of IBM; Donal O'Shea, Vice-President of Operations formerly of Unisoft Corp. This staff put the organization together in record time - staffing up to more than 300 employees in less than two years. The organization's headquarters were at 11 Cambridge Center in Cambridge MA, intentionally located in the neighborhood of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology along with remote development offices in Munich, Germany and Grenoble, France as well as field offices in Brussels and Tokyo. To the public the organization appeared to be nothing more than an advocacy group, in reality it was a full fledged distributed, software development organization.
- Die Open Software Foundation (OSF) war ein Softwarekonsortium, das 1988 von Bull, HP, IBM, DEC und Philips gegründet wurde, um neue offene Industriestandards für Unix-Betriebssysteme zu entwickeln, die unabhängig von dem von AT&T entwickelten System V sind. 1996 schloss sich die OSF mit X/Open zur Open Group zusammen. Mit dem Unix-Derivat OSF/1 (später Digital UNIX, noch später Tru64) schuf die OSF ein auf Mach aufbauendes UNIX-ähnliches Betriebssystem, welches die Entwicklung des GNU-Betriebssystems begünstigte. Mit OSF/Motif schuf die OSF eine Grafische Benutzeroberfläche, die bestimmt, wie eine Anwendung aussehen bzw. sich verhalten soll, inklusive Platzierung der Titelleisten, Menüs usw. Motif legte die Basis für das Common Desktop Environment der Open Group.
- Open Software Foundation (OSF) je společnost, která byla založena roku 1988, aby vytvořila otevřený standard pro operační systém Unix. OSF vznikla na popud Armanda Stettnera z firmy DEC, který uspořádal setkání pro několik vybraných prodejců unixových systémů. Cílem OSF byl společný vývoj softwaru a to, jako odpověď na hrozbu jednostranných úsilí firem AT&T a Sun Microsystems na Systému V Release 4 (SVR4) a s tím spojenou obavou, že ostatní prodejci budou odříznuti od standardizace. Spory mezi různými verzemi Unixu jsou známé jako Unixové války. AT&T později založila organizaci Unix International (UI), jako odpověď na OSF.

- L'Open Software Foundation (OSF) fut une organisation fondée en 1988 en vue de créer un standard ouvert pour une implémentation du système d'exploitation Unix. Les entreprises fondatrices étaient les suivantes : Apollo Computer, Groupe Bull, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Nixdorf Computer et Siemens AG. Les entreprises Philips et Hitachi les ont rejointes ultérieurement. L'OSF a fusionné avec l'X/Open en février 1996, pour donner naissance à l'Open Group. Entre autres activités, l'Open Software Foundation fournit une implémentation de référence sur laquelle sont basés tous les produits du Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). Le DCE est portatif et flexible - l'implémentation de référence est indépendante aussi bien des réseaux que des logiciels d'exploitation et fournit une architecture dans laquelle les nouvelles technologies peuvent être introduites. De ce fait, cela laisse, pour le futur, des améliorations possibles. L'objectif du DCE est que l'implémentation de référence introduise la technologie mûre et éprouvée pouvant être employée dans différentes parties de services ou comme infrastructure intégrée complète.
- La Open Software Foundation (OSF) fu un'organizzazione fondata nel 1988 con l'obiettivo di creare uno standard aperto per un'implementazione del sistema operativo Unix. I membri fondatori furono Apollo Computer, Groupe Bull, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Nixdorf Computer, e Siemens AG, talora chiamati "La Gang dei Sette". Successivamente si unirono Philips e Hitachi. La fondazione dell'organizzazione è stata vista da molti come la risposta alla collaborazione tra AT&T e Sun Microsystems creata per rilasciare la quarta versione di UNIX System V, e alla minaccia che i produttori li chiudessero fuori dal processo di standardizzazione. Questo portò Scott McNealy della Sun a ironizzare sulla sigla "OSF", utilizzandola come acronimo per "Oppose Sun Forever" (Sempre Contro Sun). La competizione tra le due versioni di Unix fu nota come Unix wars. AT&T fondò l'organizzazione UNIX International come risposta alla OSF. La prima implementazione standard di Unix, rilasciata nel 1990, dalla OSF è conosciuta come OSF/1. Fu in gran parte un fallimento, tale che la OSF fermò lo sviluppo delle successive versioni nel 1994. DEC fu l'unico produttore che adottò tale sistema, pubblicizzandolo come Digital UNIX. La OSF sviluppò altri standard più noti, che ebbero più fortuna, come Motif e Common Desktop Environment, rispettivamente rilasciati come widget toolkit e desktop environment per i sistemi X Windows. Nel 1996 la OSF si fuse con l'azienda X/Open per diventare The Open Group. A dispetto della somiglianza nel nome, e il fatto che entrambe abbiano sede a Cambridge, in Massachusetts, non c'è nessun legame tra OSF e la Free Software Foundation.
- Open Software Foundation（OSF）は、UNIXオペレーティングシステムの実装のためのオープン標準を策定するため1988年に創設された組織である。DEC が（ハミルトングループと呼ばれる）いくつかのUNIXベンダーを招待した会議で、DEC の Armendo Stettner が AT&T とサン・マイクロシステムズが UNIX 統合を行おうとしている件に対抗して共同開発を持ちかけたのが発端であった。当初のメンバーは、アポロコンピュータ、Bull、DEC、ヒューレット・パッカード、IBM、ニクスドルフ、シーメンスであり、"Gang of Seven" などと称される。その後、フィリップスと日立製作所が参加した。 この組織の創設は、AT&T とサン・マイクロシステムズによる UNIX System V Release 4 の共同開発に対抗したものという側面が大きく、他のベンダーが標準化プロセスから締め出される恐れがあったことから創設されることになった。サンのスコット・マクネリは、OSF が "Oppose Sun Forever"（永久にサンに反対）の略だと皮肉を言った。この対立が UNIX戦争と呼ばれている。AT&T は OSF に対抗すべく、同じ年に UNIX International (UI) を創設した。 OSF の標準UNIX実装 OSF/1 は1992年にDECからリリースされた。この方針は大筋で間違っていた。1994年に OSF が OSF/1 の開発を中止した時点で、OSF/1 を実際に使っていたベンダーは DEC だけであり、DEC はこれを Digital UNIX と改称した（DEC がコンパックに買収された後で Tru64 UNIX に改称）。 OSF が開発したその他の技術として、ウィジェット・ツールキットの Motif と分散ネットワークコンピューティング技術パッケージ DCE がある。 1993年、UNIXベンダーに対する脅威は他のUNIXベンダーではなく、マイクロソフトの企業向け市場への進出であることが明らかとなってきた。同年5月、UI と OSF の主なUNIXベンダー（HP、IBM、サン、USL、SCO）が集結し、COSEイニシアチブを設立することが発表された。この合意の一部として、サンが OSF に参加し、OSF は Motif の認証とブランディングを X/Open に任せることになった。 1994年3月、OSF と UI は合併した。名称としては OSF が存続し、COSE の開発モデルを Pre-Structured Technology (PST) プロセスに取り入れた。COSE が予定していた Common Desktop Environment (CDE) の開発も新OSFが責任を持つことになった。1995年9月、OSF/Motif と CDE は1つのプロジェクト CDE/Motif となることが発表された。 1996年2月、新OSFは X/Open と合併し、The Open Group となった。 なお、名称が似ていて、所在地も同じケンブリッジだが、OSF とフリーソフトウェア財団 (FSF) には何の関係もない。
- Open Software Foundation - organizacja założona w 1988 w celu utworzenia otwartego standardu systemu operacyjnego Unix, w 1996 połączyła się z konsorcjum X/Open Company, tworząc The Open Group.
- A Open Software Foundation (OSF) foi uma organização fundada em 1988 para criar um padrão aberto para a implementação de um sistema operacional Unix. Apesar da similaridade no nome e do fato das duas organizações estarem baseadas em Cambridge (Massachusetts), não existe qualquer conexão entre a OSF e a Free Software Foundation.
