   {What is the Linux Foundation?}

   \begin{itemize}
      \item
      A non-profit consortium, dedicated to fostering the
      growth of:
      \begin{itemize}
         \item
         \textbf{Linux}
         \item
         Many other \textbf{Open Source Software}
         (\textbf{OSS}) projects and communities
      \end{itemize}
      \item
      Supports the creation of sustainable \textbf{OSS}
      ecosystems by providing:
      \begin{itemize}
         \item
         Financial and intellectual resources and services
         \item
         Training
         \item
         Events
      \end{itemize}
      \item
      Originally founded to protect, support and improve
      \textbf{Linux} development and sponsors the work of
      \textbf{Linux} creator Linus Torvalds
      \item
      Supported by leading technology companies and developers
      in a neutral collaborative environment
      \item
      See \url{https://www.linuxfoundation.org}.
   \end{itemize}

\cprotect\note{

   The \textbf{Linux Foundation} provides a neutral, trusted
   hub for developers to code, manage, and scale open
   technology projects. Founded in 2000, The \textbf{Linux
      Foundation} is supported by more than 1,000 members and
   is the world’s leading home for collaboration on open
   source software, open standards, open data and open
   hardware. The \textbf{Linux Foundation}’s methodology
   focuses on leveraging best practices and addressing the
   needs of contributors, users and solution providers to
   create sustainable models for open collaboration.

   The \textbf{Linux Foundation} hosts \textbf{Linux}, the
   world's largest and most pervasive open source software
   project in history.  It is also home to \textbf{Linux}
   creator Linus Torvalds and lead maintainer Greg
   Kroah-Hartman. The success of \textbf{Linux} has catalyzed
   growth in the open source community, demonstrating the
   commercial efficacy of open source and inspiring countless
   new projects across all industries and levels of the
   technology stack.

   As a result, the \textbf{Linux Foundation} today hosts far
   more than \textbf{Linux}; it is the umbrella for many
   critical open source projects that power corporations
   today, spanning virtually all industry sectors. Some of
   the technologies we focus on include big data and
   analytics, networking, embedded systems and IoT, web
   tools, cloud computing, edge computing, automotive,
   security, blockchain, and many more.

\cprotect\note{

   Over 85,000 open source technologists and leaders
   worldwide gather at \textbf{Linux Foundation} events
   annually to share ideas, learn and
   collaborate. \textbf{Linux Foundation} events are the
   meeting place of choice for open source maintainers,
   developers, architects, infrastructure managers, and
   sysadmins and technologists leading open source program
   offices, and other critical leadership functions.

   These events are the best place to gain visibility within
   the open source community quickly and advance open source
   development work by forming connections with the people
   evaluating and creating the next generation of
   technology. They provide a forum to share and gain
   knowledge, help organizations identify software trends
   early to inform future technology investments, connect
   employers with talent, and showcase technologies and
   services to influential open source professionals, media,
   and analysts around the globe.
