It means the Open Group end of the house.

Current sources are available by CVS from globegate.utm.edu, and development is progressing primarily from volunteer work by various developers, as well as the occasional massive contribution of large patch files and tarballs (Gilbert uploaded a floppy driver before Thanksgiving, for instance).
