Austin Group
{{otheruses}}The
Austin Group or the
Austin Common Standards Revision Group is a joint technical
working group formed to develop and maintain a common revision of
POSIX.1 and parts of the
Single UNIX Specification. The approach to specification development is "write once, adopt everywhere", with the deliverables being a set of specifications that carry both the IEEE POSIX designation and The Open Group's Technical Standard designation, and at the next paper publishing the ISO/IEC designation. The new set of specifications is simultaneously ISO/IEC 9945, IEEE Std 1003.1 and forms the core of the Single UNIX Specification Version 3.This unique development combines both the industry led efforts and the formal standardization activities into a single initiative, and includes a wide spectrum of participants. The group currently has over 500
participants, and is chaired by Andrew Josey from
The Open Group. The Open Group manages the day to day running of the group, providing the chair, the editor and email/web facilities. There are no fees for participation or membership.
