Work Groups
FSG responsibility for the following work groups has now transferred to The Linux Foundation:
- The Linux Standard Base, a set of interface standards allowing for the ultimate portability of applications across various Linux versions and distributions. Conformance with this specification is certified by The Open Group (under contract with the Free Standards Group).
- The Open Internationalization Initiative (OpenI18N), a standard that creates a foundation for language globalization of compliant distributions and applications
- The Linux Assigned Names and Numbers Authority (LANANA)
- OpenPrinting, creating a scalable printing architecture and high-level requirements for a standardized printing system
- Accessibility, developing accessibility standards for free and open source platforms
- Open Cluster, defining a set of clustering interface standards

Famous quotes containing the words work and/or groups:
“... possibly there is no needful occupation which is wholly unbeautiful. The beauty of work depends upon the way we meet it—whether we arm ourselves each morning to attack it as an enemy that must be vanquished before night comes, or whether we open our eyes with the sunrise to welcome it as an approaching friend who will keep us delightful company all day, and who will make us feel, at evening, that the day was well worth its fatigues.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
