Reading through the list of projects that the Linux Foundation supports (via infrastructure, governance, events, etc) with the other 181 million is honestly shocking. They are supporting, among like a thousand others - NodeJS/OpenJS, PyTorch, Electron, K8s, vLLM, ONNX, PX4, GraphQL - plus the 'smaller' entries like Zephyr, Containerd, gRPC, KiCAD, ESLint, Fastify, etc. Their portfolio is literally insane. This is the BlackRock of the entire digital world.

- sudo_cowsay 4mo agois it investments or just donating/funding for no compensation?
- cdud3 4mo agoFeels a lot like the Mozilla Foundation which also ended to do everything but there Browser.
- philistine 4mo agoYeah but with the Linux foundation, I read the list of things they fund and I see important projects. What is it that Mozilla does again?
- smegger001 4mo agoLets see; a phone os no one used, and ad on installed without user permision as a tie-for a TV show, browser integration with a thirdparty bookmarking service that should have been an optional addon, a VPN, an abborted browser based video confercing service based on open standards that they killed for non obvious reasons, a bunch of social justice initiatives, an email masking/forwarding service killing their addon APIs in favor of googles more limited api.
- walrus01 4mo agoTo be fair to the vpn product, at least they did it through a partnership with mullvad, one of the least-terrible (not even in the same ballpark as the likes of nordvpn, etc) commercial vpn service providers in existence.
- slowmovintarget 4mo agoThe video conferencing would have bitten in to Google's Meet and Google was their primary source of funding.
- apexalpha 4mo agoWell since the Cloud Native foundation is a subsidiary of the Linux foundation this makes sense.
