I'm Nick Cooper from OpenAI.
I've been there just over two years now, I think.
Uh I'm generally OpenAI's like head of a lot of protocol things and very interested in the open ecosystem and our representative for AAIF as well as a core contributor to N C P.
it.
Uh, agents and D, just in general, like not just the protocols but also the product experiences of where open AI products intersect with other SaaS provider things and other systems.
I think David said basically all the story from my side as well, which is um so we saw this like need to connect systems and then MCP gained such very large developer traction and we at OpenAI were very excited to like use and then contribute and actively participate in this.
And from my point of view it was always very natural that this would grow into something bigger and move to a neutral place.
And like
MCP's always been like a foundation for like communication between agents and contexts.
And in a similar way, the agentic foundation is well, it's a foundation, but also it's like the starting point where we really look forward to other contributions, like starting with Goose, our own agents MD, where we're really open for like a lot of technical contributions to build out like a full
got all these people reaching out, you know, there's good and bad.
It's a really good question.
I think it's like how to pick uh how we expand the foundation itself from like a governance standpoint, but also like technical contributions and how can the foundation best support them as well.
That's like really tough in my mind.
It's like the first thing we need to like define some structure and work out what we like how to bring it all together.
But I think even before like those details, there's such value in establishing this one forum that people can come to.
Like
Even having a list of eager technical participants and potential opportunities, that's a huge opportunity in front of us to like distill what's truly meaningful to developers, users, and everyone.
And very appreciated the Linux Foundation Reacting is like sort of a galvanizing rod for this like attention only.
just like the VAT coding space.
