The Academy Software Foundation is 5 years old!
It was 5 years ago that a group of Chief Technology Officers from Studios and Software companies decided to create an organization with the mission to become a neutral forum for open source software developers in the motion picture and broader media industries, to share resources and collaborate on technologies for image creation, visual effects, animation and sound.
Today, the Academy Software Foundation supports a strong ecosystem of open source engineers that is becoming stronger everyday, while hosting 14 projects that were used in movies such as Nimona, Oppenheimer, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Creator, Napoleon, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1, Elemental, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and War is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko.
Attend this session to learn what the Foundation has accomplished during the last 5 years and, more importantly, discuss where we intend to go in the next 5 years, starting with Dev Days and the Summer Learning Program. Come equipped with your ideas and suggestions, because anyone can contribute to open source projects!
