The Linux Foundation has announced that its CAMARA project, an open source community working on API interoperability for the telecommunications industry, has graduated to a funded model.
CAMARA was launched in February 2022 with 22 initial partners and has since grown to over 250 participating organizations with over 750 contributors. The funded model will help to sustain the project's rapid growth and ensure that it has the resources it needs to succeed.
The funded model will also introduce a Governing Board, Technical Steering Committee, and End User Council to manage collaboration at scale.
Earlier this year, CAMARA partnered with the GSMA, TMForum and LF Networking to publish a white paper, “The Ecosystem for Open Gateway NaaS API Development.” The paper outlines collaborative concepts of Open Gateway (a framework of common network APIs designed to provide universal access to operator networks for developers, helps application developers enhance and deploy services more quickly across operator networks via single points of access to the world’s largest connectivity platform) Network as a Service (NaaS) architecture.
