'''Morfeo Open-Source Software Community''' is a group that promotes the use of [[open source software]], focused on improving Technicaltechnical Transferencestransfer between companies, and on generating [[social networksnetwork]]s for collaboration among them, being alsoand anto encouragementencourage for small-sized companies providing certain resources for caryingcarrying out this task.

The group is backed by the regional governments of [[Andalusia]], [[Aragon]], [[Castile-La Mancha]], [[Extremadura]], [[Catalonia]] and [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]]. It relies on its members' contributions, and [[Telefónica]] I+D releases proprietary software components and provides resources for the group.<ref>[https://elpais.com/diario/2009/01/22/ciberpais/1232592021_850215.html Morfeo, la comunidad de 'software' libre de Telefónica, ya alberga 60 proyectos]</ref>

== Morfeo Project Goals ==

The MORFEO community works towards the following goals:

The organization works with projects including [[MyMobileWeb]], SMARTFlow (a [[workflow]] platform), [[Common Object Request Broker Architecture|CORBA Components]] and [[service-oriented architecture]] (SOA) components. Other projects include B2Booking, EasyConf, MyMobileSearch and UptaZone.

* Speed up the development of [[Service-oriented architecture|Service Oriented Architectures]]-related software standards, which are key for both [[System integration|systems integration]] and the evolution of the network as an ecosystem of proliferating services

* Create business opportunities in the field and integrate solutions targeting enterprises and the Administration based on standard platforms and applications developed within the community

* Improve the productivity and assure the quality of [[open-source software]]-related developments that can be integrated with the standard software development infrastructure for projects of this type ([[Gforge]])

* Act as a catalyst for R&D&I projects in the software field that naturally integrate a range of scientific and technological agents, helping to boost R&D&I activities and the development of a strong industrial fabric in countries where the consortium members operate.

==References==

The community will provide a knowledge base around a model associated with [[open-source software]] and will provide enterprises with counselling on open-source software-related issues. To do this, the community will also look at the development of:

== Collaborating Members ==

The MORFEO community provides an open framework for collaboration among enterprises (major corporations and SMEs), universities, research centres and public administrations that believe in (or want to experience) the potential of open-source software with a view to achieving the above-mentioned goals. Since it was set up, the community has hit the headlines and has the unqualified backing of a number of public administrations in Spain, namely, the regional governments of [[Andalusia]], [[Aragon]], [[Castile-La Mancha]], [[Extremadura]], [[Catalonia]] and [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]].

The community will feed off its members' contribution, but Telefónica I+D is the community's “engine”, releasing proprietary software components and injecting resources into the community.

==Main Projects==

Morfeo Open-Source Software Community embraces, including others, the following projects:

* '''[[MyMobileWeb]]'''. The Mobility Channel is a vertical components platform for developing mobile solutions. It is a modular product, based on standards, that offers a comprehensive solution to the problem of mobility. It is composed of a number of modules that cover the basic requirements to be met by a comprehensive and integrated mobility solution, concealing the complexity of managing multiple devices from applications.

* '''[[Fast and Advanced Storyboard Tools| FAST]] (Fast and Advanced Storyboard Tools)'''. The main objective of the project is to create a new a visual programming environment that will facilitate the development of complex front-end [[Gadget| gadgets]], involving execution of relatively complex business processes that rely on back-end [[Semantic Web Services]]

* '''SMARTFlow'''. Smartflow, a [[workflow]] platform, which aim is to define a platform that speeds up certain electronic processes in Public Administrations, such as administrative files and final user complaints in case of companies.

* '''[[Corba|Corba Components]]'''. One of the most prominent technologies in the field of distributed computing is CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). Telefónica I+D has developed a range of professional distributed solutions for the Telefónica Group targeting different problems in the world of ICT, all of which have features that can be classed under “high-criticality environments" and “multiplatform" concepts.

* '''[[Service-oriented architecture|SOA Components]]'''. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) defines a software architecture model that is vastly popular for applications integration environments, especially in [[B2B]] environments at Internet level and [[Enterprise application integration|EAI]] environments at Intranet level.

==Other projects==

* '''B2Booking'''

* '''EasyConf'''

* '''[[EBox|eBox Platform]]'''

* '''MyMobileSearch'''

* '''UptaZone'''
