The 'Open Source Applications Foundation' ('OSAF') is a
non-profit organization founded in 2002 by
Mitch Kapor whose purpose is to effect widespread adoption of
free software/
open-source software. One significant project undertaken by OSAF was
Chandler. As of July,
2006, twenty two people worked full-time, or mostly full-time, on Chandler along side 4 interns.
Since 2005, OSAF has participated in
Google's
Summer of Code programs by allowing several interns to work on OSAF's projects during the summer.
OSAF has two other projects under development: Cosmo, a
CalDAV server written in
Java, and Scooby, an
Ajax calendar application that works with Cosmo or another
CalDAV server. There are four full time staff combined on these two projects.
The following is a list of some major
monetary contributors to OSAF, followed by the amounts in
United States dollars.

Kapor is Chair and President of OSAF.
