Today, OpenAFS is actively developed for a wide range of operating system families including: AIX, Mac OS X, Darwin, HP-UX, Irix, Solaris, Linux, Microsoft Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD.

Governance of the project is split between the board of elders who consider issues of strategic direction, and the gatekeepers who control the source repository.

Although there is no legal entity that owns the OpenAFS source code, copyright on many files is attributed to IBM.

The following are several prominent examples: The existing user base includes small single server cells as well as large multinational deployments spanning academia, private research laboratories, government, and commercial entities.
