The list of important properties of the OpenXT Project Platform that are subject to governance supervision is maintained in a separate document: OpenXT Platform Properties.

Layers

The OpenXT Project software utilizes the composable software layers provided by OpenEmbedded in order to isolate customizations, such as hardware, GUI environments and distributions. The OpenXT layers create modular governance contexts for specific use cases, target markets and operational models, with a narrowed set of stakeholders and increased prospects of stakeholder alignment within individual layers.
