Morfeo Open-Source Software Community is a group that promotes the use of open source software, focused on improving technical transfer between companies, and on generating social networks for collaboration, and to encourage for small-sized companies providing certain resources for carrying out this task.

The group is backed by the regional governments of Andalusia, Aragon, Castile-La Mancha, Extremadura, Catalonia and Valencia. It relies on its members' contributions, and Telefónica I+D releases proprietary software components and provides resources for the group. [1]

The organization works with projects including MyMobileWeb, SMARTFlow (a workflow platform), CORBA Components and service-oriented architecture (SOA) components. Other projects include B2Booking, EasyConf, MyMobileSearch and UptaZone.

History of free and open-source software Aspect of history

In the 1950s and 1960s, computer operating software and compilers were delivered as a part of hardware purchases without separate fees. At the time, source code, the human-readable form of software, was generally distributed with the software providing the ability to fix bugs or add new functions. Universities were early adopters of computing technology. Many of the modifications developed by universities were openly shared, in keeping with the academic principles of sharing knowledge, and organizations sprung up to facilitate sharing. As large-scale operating systems matured, fewer organizations allowed modifications to the operating software, and eventually such operating systems were closed to modification. However, utilities and other added-function applications are still shared and new organizations have been formed to promote the sharing of software.
