Welcome

OSIOT is a Silicon Valley based organization with the single focus to develop and promote royalty-free, open source standards for the emerging Internet of Things. By bringing together industry, the public sector, academics and members of the open source software development community, OSIOT is ensuring that its output serves the needs of many.

Our goal is to create the means for fluid interoperability across disparate environments, each with its own unique variety of needs, services and scenarios. We are building the Rosetta Stone for the Internet of Things.

First OSIOT Internet of Things Hackathon

We will host an all-day Internet of Things hackathon on July 27th at Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. The goal of OSIOT hackathons is to develop an interoperable ecosystem of connected sensors and objects. At this first hachathon, we will work on the core Smart Object API and IoT Tolkit software, the Semantic Repository of Things, and some initial use cases including a connected laundromat and a connected weather sensor. All are welcome to join and learn and participate.
