Community

COSS is a community-driven standard. It only works because developers, maintainers, and users choose to build and defend a more open ecosystem together. This is where you plug in.

Why Community Matters

A standard maintained by a single vendor is just another lock-in mechanism with better marketing. COSS is stewarded collectively so that no single interest can bend it toward exclusivity. Every contribution - a proposal, a discussion, an adoption - strengthens the guarantee the COSS Mark represents.
