The future is ours to create.

And open collaboration lets
us build it together.
More than 20 years ago, Linus Torvalds sparked an open source revolution.
But the future of the movement belongs to you. Not just you as a user. But you
as a creator, a producer, and most of all, a collaborator.

The Linux Foundation is here to help.

By supporting the community and fostering collaboration on a truly massive

scale, The Linux Foundation helps unite thousands of curious minds in the free
and open exchange of ideas. And now were expanding the collaborative DNA
of Linux into new industries and projects, like biomedical research and mobile
R&D. With the power of this collective wisdom, people everywhere are using
Linux to solve harder problems, innovate faster than ever, and change the way
the world works together.

the Linux community.
To navigate the ever-changing landscape of Linux, it helps to have someone who
can point you in the right direction. Thats where The Linux Foundation comes in.
From new member mentoring programs to strategy consulting, were here to guide
you through the labyrinth of open source opportunitiesso you can make the
most of your Linux investment.
But its not just about making Linux work for you. Its about making it work for
everyone. As the protector of all things Linux, and the employer of Linus Torvalds
himself, The Linux Foundation sustains the vital work of the kernel development
community and ensures the neutrality of key developers. With technical, legal and
promotional programs that keep Linux thriving, were making sure that Linux stays
free and open, so we can all help grow the future of the platform.
