Hello dear Open RAN Experts.
Do you know when to spell Open RAN with a space, without (OpenRAN) and with a – (O-RAN)? 
Open RAN = overall Open RAN movement of opening up interfaces
OpenRAN = TIP group and anything related to TIP deployments
O-RAN or #ORAN (for hashtag) = O-RAN Alliance references of org itself or interfaces
It’s also worth to know the organizations involved in OpenRAN (and their role):
3GPP: overall telecom standards, interfaces need to be opened by each vendor
Telecom Infra Project: advancement of global OpenRAN deployments from standards to commercial solution via self certification and testing
O-RAN ALLIANCE e.V.: development of interoperable standards for white box RAN, software, and RIC
The Linux Foundation: through partnership with O-RAN Alliance, development of open software for the RAN
GSMA: helps to accelerate Open RAN through partnerships with TIP and O-RAN Alliance
Small Cell Forum: standardization of open small cells.
Open RAN Policy Coalition: education on policies for Open and interoperable RAN
