Our open source projects welcome anyone to get involved in our development communities at any time.

O3DE is the flagship project managed by the Open 3D Foundation. The open source project is a modular, cross-platform 3D engine built to power anything from AAA games to cinema-quality 3D worlds to high-fidelity simulations. The code is hosted on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.

Host Your Project

Host your project with O3DF to benefit from the support and services of the open source 3D ecosystem. Future project decisions will be made by the O3DF Technical Oversight Council.

What does it mean to host your project?

Hosting a project with the O3DF follows open governance, which means that there is no one company or individual in control of a project. When the maintainers of an open source project decide to host it at O3DF, they specifically transfer ownership of the trademark for their project to the Linux Foundation, the parent organization of O3DF.

If you would like information about hosting your project at the O3DF, please email info@o3d.foundation.

Project Services

Why you should host your project with O3DF

In a world where GitHub use is ubiquitous, it is no longer sufficient for a software foundation to offer just a software repo, mailing list, and website. A set of enhanced services is required as it facilitates increased market education, adoption and deep engagement with the open source community to enable collaboration. The list below represents each of the services that the Open 3D Foundation provides to its hosted projects.
