This landscape is intended as a map to explore open source projects hosted by the Academy Software Foundation, open source projects in the visual and special effects industries, and also shows the Academy Software Foundation member companies. It is modeled after the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) landscape and based on the same open-source code.
This repository contains the data files and images required to generate the Academy Software Found landscape. The software that generates it can be found at the cncf/landscape2 repository. Please see its README file for more information about how it works.
The requirements for adding new entries for open source projects in the visual and special effects industries is as follows:
- Projects must be open source and hosted on or mirrored to GitHub.
- Projects must have been used successfully in the production of a film, television program, animated content or other projects within the scope of the ASWF. It also should have been designed specifically for the entertainment industry.
- Projects that clearly fit in an existing category are generally included. Put the project in the single category where it best fits. We are unlikely to create a new category for projects as we'd rather find the best home with the current options.
- Projects a logo and the logo needs to include the name.
If you think your project should be included, please open a pull request to add it to landscape.yml. For the logo, upload an SVG to the hosted_logos directory.
Please open a pull request with edits to landscape.yml.
If the error is with data from Crunchbase you should open an account there and edit the data. If you don't like a project description, edit it in GitHub. If your project isn't showing the license correctly, you may need to paste the unmodified text of the license into a LICENSE file at the root of your project in GitHub, in order for GitHub to serve the license information correctly.
Academy Software Foundation Member and Project data in this repository ( which in the landscape.yml file are under ASWF Member Company and ASWF Projects ) are built nightly using the LFX Landscape Tools. Any changes made directly in the data files in this repository for Academy Software Foundation Members and Projects will be overwritten.
- For member entries, you can make these changes in LFX Organization Dashboard.
- For project entries, those changes can be made in LFX Project Control Center (PCC).
If you cannot access the above resources, please create a helpdesk ticket to request those changes.
You can build the landscape locally on your machine using the landscape2 tool. Once installed, you can use the commands below to build the landscape and serve it locally.
landscape2 build --data-file landscape.yml --settings-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cncf/landscape2-sites/refs/heads/main/aswf/settings.yml --logos-path hosted_logos --output-dir build
