On Tuesday Adobe launched the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF), a rich media player platform. OSMF was previously part of a project codenamed Strobe.
Adobe also open sourced the Text Layout Framework (TLF), a typography platform for Web apps.
“Adobe is committed to providing core Flash platform technologies to the community as open source,” said Dave McAllister, director of standards and open source at Adobe, in a statement. “By releasing OSMF and TLF as open source, we are helping facilitate the creation and sharing of best practices for media players and rich text-based Web application development.”
