In order to create a collaborative environment for many sectors to cooperate on creating open source software and standards for an inclusive, universal, vendor-neutral, and scalable Metaverse, the Linux Foundation formed the Open Metaverse Foundation (OMF). To help the endeavour to realise this goal, several open source communities and thought-provoking organisations have joined as founding members. These organisations include, among others, ChainHub, Cloud Native Computing, Futurewei, GenXP, Guangdong Digital Industry Research Institute, Hyperledger, LF Edge, and LF Networking. These participants work together to handle projects in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud and edge computing, digital assets, transactions, identification, networking, simulations, security, and other areas.
