The Linux Foundation's Latest Partnership Could Shake Up Open-Source Ecosystems - Here's Why
ZDNet, Wednesday, March 12th, 2025
The two biggest corporate open-source foundations are merging.
To strengthen the open-source community, the Linux Foundation and the Open Infrastructure Foundation (OpenInfra) have announced plans for OpenInfra to join the Linux Foundation as a member foundation. This decision follows unanimous approval from both organizations' boards and aims to unite their vibrant global ecosystems to provide trusted open-source solutions.
The Linux Foundation was formed when the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) merged with the Free Standards Group in 2007. Back then, its focus was to standardize desktop and enterprise Linux. Today, it oversees more than 900 open-source projects.
