The association is open for anyone to join and much of the > discussions are on these mailing lists and especially the IRC channel > #realxtend-dev. The association does not have any money nor projects > itself, it just is the collaboration talks and the actual dev on github > etc. Earlier we had monthly live meets and now, during the FI-WARE EU > project where most of the companies around realXtend participate (and get > funded), we've had bi-weekly Oulu face-to-face technical meetings where > often also generic realXtend tech dev targets have been agreed on. > > The foundation, on the other hand, exists to own and protect the name and > fund selected development activities. Juha Hulkko is the chairman and City > of Oulu is the other founder.

Oulu's infra-project etc. who work directly with end customers and > focus on applications only, don't dev the base techs directly at all.
