OpenNTF Organization The OpenNTF Alliance is a loose cooperation of equal members with the

common goal to provide open source applications based on NotesDomino Similar to the OpenAjaxOrg model - as little bureaucracy as possible but

as much structure and as many rules as necessary to make code re-usable and the organization efficient

Members are expected to contribute something (eg code in kind donations financial contributions etc)

Steering Committee defines strategy and direction Technical Committee implements new services and web site features
