A publication hub for open source logistics components.

Our Standalone Projects

Members of the Open Logistics Foundation can publish standalone open source components for the logistics industry on our GitLab – independent of a Working Group. Each project follows a quality-assured process, uses the OLFL-1.3 license, and is actively maintained.

From idea to active Standalone Project

Projects move through a three-step process before their open source component becomes part of the Standalone Project library.

1

Candidate proposal

An initial idea for a new standalone project that was not developed by the Open Logistics Foundation.

Becomes a Sandbox project when candidates are proposed by one or more OLF members and approved by the Logistical Technical Steering Committees.

2

Sandbox project

Pre-release projects, not yet official standalone projects of the Open Logistics Foundation, with their own temporary and private repository for development.

Becomes an Active project when administrative, technical, documentation, and compliance criteria are fulfilled.
