Getting Started with CAMARA
Intro to the CAMARA Community
From a functional perspective the scope is limited to telco APIs, that means APIs in the domain of telco mobile networks, telco fixed line networks, telco edge cloud, etc. or supporting these (e.g. for authentication). CAMARA only works on customer-facing northbound APIs. East-west federation / roaming APIs are out of scope for CAMARA. Check out how to get started below!
Create Your Linux Foundation ID
A Linux Foundation ID is your unique identifier across all Linux Foundation communities. If you don't already have one, set up your LF ID here.
Your Individual Dashboard at https://openprofile.dev is where you can:
Set up your Linux Foundation ID / SSO
Edit your contact information and manage email accounts
View upcoming Community Meetings you're registered for
View your community and membership roles
Manage training and certification records
View participation in Linux Foundation Events
Learn more about your Individual Dashboard here.
Single Sign On (SSO)
The Linux Foundation provides a Single Sign-On service (SSO) for secure access across all communities. Linux Foundation managed systems and services like Events Registration, Zoom, Training and Certification, and LFX tools are protected by this SSO service.
Please get an LFID first, even if you only plan to browse content passively as it will save you (and potentially our IT team) headaches in the future.
