The Linux Foundation powers decentralised innovation through its neutral, open-source hub for developers to code, manage, and scale open technology products and ecosystems. The company has a long-standing reputation as one of the most trusted sources on the market.
Utilised by a wide range of organisations, including some of the top enterprises in the world (such as Intel, Fujitsu, Microsoft, and Samsung), the company has over 17,000 organisations contributing to its hub, adding 51M+ lines of code each week.
The company also leads education programs, providing users with training & certification focused on area-specific technical competencies, called SkillCreds, to empower professionals to find new ways to stand out in the highly competitive technology landscape.
