New Members Join The Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and collaborative development, today announced that IIX Inc., Micron Technology, Inc., and Planisys are joining the organization.
From mature storage software to disruptive direct interconnection technology, today's new members represent both large, global institutions and newly launched companies. Despite their differences, today's new members believe open source -- and its shared development and funding model -- is strategic for achieving global growth. By investing in Linux, collectively these companies are best able to support open source to ensure it remains a viable, secure, community-driven and independent technology for numerous industries.
