It's hard to believe that it has been one year already! Happy birthday to the Open 3D community and partners! We couldn't have made it this far without all of you. #OpenSource #O3DE
Today we celebrate one year of the Open #3D Foundation! Thank you to all the members, supporters, and fellow visionaries for your help on building the first fully-featured, real-time #opensource 3D engine available to every industry. Here's to many more years to come.

From @OBWANDO of @linuxfoundation: Openness is key to the #metaverse because it benefits both corporate and community interests, allows implementations to speak for themselves & creates an open and decentralized community. #siggraph2021
