The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit organization involved in sustaining the growth of Linux, and is supported by various companies around the world. The work of the Linux Foundation revolves around the promotion, protection and standardization of Linux by delivering unified resources and services required for the enhancement of open source software usage. “We look forward to working with them to continue the march of Linux in all areas of computing,” said Matt Zimmerman, Ubuntu program manager and CTO, Canonical.
Though Canonical is a commercial company, and The Linux Foundation is a non-profit organization, many for-profit companies are members and have contributed to Linux Growth. Many would have expected Canonical to join TLF a long time ago, given how their business revolves around Ubuntu.
In response, at the Linux Foundation summit, heavy hitters Canonical, Novell Red Hat formed a new workgroup to speed the process of porting new drivers to older versions of Linux. The sponsor behind the world’s current most popular Linux desktop distribution is making an important change in their affiliations, with a recent announcement that they would be joining The Linux Foundation.
