A collaborative effort launched and coordinated by the Linux Foundation to build an open source implementation of Middleware Agnostic Messaging APIs (MAMA), which financial services companies use for passing data across messaging applications.

First announced in 2011, the OpenMAMA project seeks to standardize and simplify the MAMA APIs that have been around since the early 2000s, and in turn reduce complexity and cost for financial services companies.
