Lottie is now a part of the Linux Foundation

We are excited to announce that as part of ongoing efforts to future proof the Lottie format, a steering committee has formed under the governance of the Linux Joint Development Foundation to develop and provide continuous stability to the Lottie format as a web standard and open community project.

This project is a cross-industry collaboration involving open-source maintainers like Hernan Torrisi and Gabriel Peal, corporate representatives from Google, Airbnb, LottieFiles and Lottielab, and extended participation from contributors across the Lottie community.

Over the past years, Lottie has exploded beyond its origin in Adobe After Effects and the incredible efforts of its early creators to become the industry standard format for animated vector graphics across various platforms and editing tools.

Its ubiquity and evolution has prompted the need for a formal format specification and democratic change mechanism, to help developers and consumers of the format ensure reliable performance and compatibility across the diverse platforms on which Lottie is used.

Coordinating our efforts as a community, in alignment with the Linux Joint Development Foundation guarantees a thorough, open and collaborative approach to standardization efforts.

We want to extend an open invite to organizations and individuals who resonate and would like to join us to check out: https://github.com/lottie
