History
The OSI/Network Management Forum was founded in 1988 by eight companies to collaboratively solve systems and operational management issues with the OSI protocols. In 1998 the name was changed to the TeleManagement Forum.
The IPsphere Forum was founded in June 2005 at the Supercomm 2005 trade show in Chicago. It evolved from a group called the Infranet Initiative Council when created by Juniper Networks in 2004. Other notable founding members included Cisco Systems and Alcatel. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) joined in 2007, and it established a liaison with the Tele-Management Forum later that year. By September 2008 IPsphere Forum merged with the TM Forum.
TM Forum held marketing events called "Content Encounters" at the Management World trade shows in 2007 through 2009. TM Forum's work includes Frameworx, Enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM), Frameworx Shared Information/Data Model (SID) and Telecom Application Map (TAM).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
