Linux Foundation

The Linux Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2000 to support the development and adoption of open-source software projects. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the foundation serves as a neutral hub for developers and organizations to collaborate on open technology initiatives.

The foundation's mission is to foster the growth of open-source ecosystems by providing financial and intellectual resources, infrastructure, events, training, and support programs to advance open innovation.

By working together with its members and communities of open-source engineers, the Linux Foundation and its projects form one of the most ambitious and successful investments in the creation of shared technology.

As of 2025, the Linux Foundation has over 1,000 corporate members and has hosted more than 900 open-source projects.

These projects span various domains, including cloud computing, networking, blockchain, and hardware. The foundation also organizes numerous events, such as the Open Source Summit Europe, to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing within the open-source community.
