OW2 is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the development and promotion of open source in the domains of middleware, generic business applications and cloud computing platforms. Orange is a founding and strategic member of OW2.
Thus, Orange is involved in the governance and the management of the OW2 consortium; Orange is the leader of the Open Source Accessibility initiative (OSAi) supported by OW2; Orange drives or contributes to several Open source projects hosted by OW2.
OW2, as a non-profit organisation, exists because of its Members . OW2’s budget comes mainly from the membership fees, and also from subsidies of collaborative projects for which OW2 is a member (mainly in charge of dissemination).

Open Source Accessibility initiative
Creation of the “Open Source Accessibility initiative” was spearheaded by Orange in 2016 within the neutral framework of OW2. It was founded in order to leverage an open source collaborative approach to digital accessibility, through software projects (several provided by Orange) and other deliverables, such as training courses, communication tools, guidelines, etc.
