Our take
The Linux Foundation powers decentralized 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.
Utilized by a wide range of organizations, including some of the top enterprises in the world (such as Intel, Fujitsu, Microsoft, and Samsung), the company has over 17,000 organizations 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.
With a consistent and ever-growing portfolio of partnerships and innovative projects, along with its recently launched European division, The Linux Foundation is well-set to be a core contributor to open-source innovation around the globe for years to come.
