  • To support, provide, enable and promote collaboration on the development of the OpenXT Platform, that is:
    • An Open-Source software development toolkit for use on modern hardware.
    • An integrated body of software that provides virtualization technology with high assurance security properties that are rooted in the platform hardware. 
    • A collection of modular, composable software components that can be used by derivative projects as a basis to extend upon and target to their use cases.
  • To organize, hold and conduct meetings, discussions and forums on issues relevant to the development of the OpenXT Platform.
  • To engage with upstream software projects and contribute developments with the dual aims of increasing the use of OpenXT technologies and decreasing the specialization of OpenXT.
  • To foster work that raises the security capabilities of the OpenXT Platform and upstream projects.
  • To ensure that the OpenXT Current Use Cases are satisfied via the OpenXT Platform Architecture and the OpenXT Platform Properties are maintained by the project Platform.
  • To actively pursue additional Use Cases where the OpenXT technology is relevant and the attraction of additional contributors would follow from adding support for a new Use Case.

OpenXT Platform Layers

The OpenXT Project uses composable software layers provided by OpenEmbedded, to isolate customizations such as hardware, GUI environments and Linux distributions.

OpenXT Platform Layers provide smaller governance contexts for use cases, target markets and operational models within a common codebase.  Layers narrow the set of stakeholders and increase alignment, while increasing the adoption of core platform components.

All OpenXT Platform Layers are subject to OpenXT Governance as defined in this document.  Layer creation and changes can be proposed via the "Project Changes" process defined in this document.
