Foundational Interest Groups

The work of the Open Metaverse Foundation is organized into Foundational Interest Groups, or FIGs, focused on specific areas of the open Metaverse. Each FIG is composed of members from specific disciplines with a common purpose of advancing the work and technologies within that specific FIG, including:

  • Enabling a focused distributed decision structure for each topic
  • Providing resources and methods for identifying new ideas, getting work done, and onboarding new contributors
  • Ensuring code ownership of every identifiable subpart of each project is addressed and managed by the appropriate FIG
