The ZOOOM Community is a newly established network aimed at gathering a diverse and dynamic group of open source experts. This includes software developers, business developers and strategists, lawyers, intellectual property managers, and licensing specialists. Unlike many other open source communities, the ZOOOM Community will emphasise the industrial applications of open source technology, fostering collaboration and innovation in this critical area.
The ZOOOM Community members will engage in collective problem-solving, harness diverse perspectives, and address new challenges in industrial and societal ecosystems. The expert network comprises a wide array of experts in open source software, hardware and data technology development and licensing. Users and volunteers can share and receive advice, mentorship, or design partnership opportunities.
ZOOOM Community objectives:
- Focus on industrial applications: Address specific needs and challenges faced by industries that might not be adequately covered by general open source initiatives.
