The OSMF board, Working Groups and the Committees traditionally consist of volunteers.
This page lists some of the people/companies paid by OSMF to do work for the Foundation. Please note that:
- This page is a work in progress and contains data from the more recent years.
- Working Groups can contract people directly. While this page was created initially to list people contracted/hired directly by the board, Working Groups are of course free to enrich it.
