OpenDirective emerged from Oxford University's OSS Watch to facilitate open innovation in software, and form the link between OSS Watch in the academic research sector and product development of the commercial sector. OpenDirective is committed to identifying software products and opportunities that are reaching the chasm between the early adopters and the early majority, with a focus on mobile and accessibility-enabling technologies that stem from research or are developed for internal use, and are not necessarily developed as products in themselves. By facilitating open innovation through engagement with Open Source software, OpenDirective helps make companies more innovative, capable, and cost efficient.

OpenDirective is led by Ross Gardler and Steve Lee, who, for more than ten years, have actively participated in various Open Source communities that include The Apache Software Foundation, Mozilla, GNOME and Ubuntu.

OSS Watch provides unbiased advice and guidance on the use, development, and licensing of free and open source software.

DevCSI is about helping software developers realise their full potential, by creating the conditions for them to be able to learn, network effectively, share ideas, collaborate and innovate creating a ‘community’ of developers in the learning provider sector which is greater than the sum of its parts. The developer benefits. The sector benefits.

The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) is a federation of resource providers set up to deliver sustainable, integrated and secure grid computing services to researchers. Its mission is to allow scientists from all fields to make the most out of the latest computing technologies for the benefit of their research.

Examples of practical applications of grid computing to science include: the analysis of the experimental data pouring out of the LHC particle accelerator at CERN; in silico experiments where thousands of molecules are tested as potential cures against well-known diseases such as Alzheimer’s; analysis of medical imaging techniques to enable better and faster diagnostics; genetic sequencing; running simulations testing climate and environment change models. All of these tasks can be executed with the help of grid computing for a fraction of the time and money that would cost to run them on normal computer clusters.

The infrastructure is managed by EGI.eu – a not-for-profit foundation established in 2010 to coordinate the infrastructure on behalf of its participants: National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIROs).
