The document discusses the transition of the MediaMosa video platform from an innovation project at SURFnet to an independent open source foundation. It describes how SURFnet developed MediaMosa through various phases but needed to establish a foundation to sustain it as an open source project beyond SURFnet's involvement. The MediaMosa Foundation was formed to govern the project, engage the community, and ensure long-term support and development of the MediaMosa software.
