What in the World is

Going on at the Linux

Foundation?!

November 8, 2017

The Linux Foundation has over 500 corporate members

involved in over 70 member-sponsored projects. In

2016, the Linux Foundation convened over 20,000

people from 85 countries and over 4000 companies at

150 events around the world. Over 800,000 students

from 215 countries have enrolled in Linux Foundation

training programs. Who is driving this growth? Why do

companies invest valuable resources in collaborative

development? What have we learned along the way?

Our Role Has Been Recognized Alongside Tech Titans

› “It’s one thing to create a great piece

of software. It’s quite another to have it

make a mark on the entire industry.

These are the companies and

organizations whose work has had a

significant impact on what others build,

how they build it, and ultimately, who

uses it.”

Facebook, Google, IBM, Intel,

Microsoft, GitHub, Netflix, Red Hat,

The Linux Foundation is a leader in open source collaboration

The media and the industry agree on the value provided by a neutral The Linux Foundation

“OpenDaylight arrives with some instant credibility because it’s hosted by the Linux

Foundation, the not-for-profit that oversees the Linux operating system, the most

successful open source project of them all.”

“Just like the Linux kernel, Xen enjoys contributions from a variety of different companies,

so a vendor-neutral organization to host development and collaboration is a big win for the

project.”

"The Linux Foundation has shown it can manage competing visions and egos, a bit like

when Phil Jackson ran the Bulls."

"Google is committed to advancing the state of computing, and to helping businesses

everywhere benefit from the patterns that have proven so effective to us in operating at

Internet scale. We believe that this foundation will help harmonize the broader ecosystem,

and are pleased to contribute Kubernetes, the open source cluster scheduler, to the

foundation as a seed technology."

We have retired old rivalries

› Microsoft is a major participant in Linux and our other projects

› Linux vs UNIX has calmed, in peace

› Linux has exceeded Unix market share for the first time in enterprise server market in 2017

› Open source now makes up over 80% of the code in most modern applications

› We are in a “social coding” era –largely ushered in by Github(Torvalds also wrote Git)

Health can include your internal compliance process› The OpenChain Project makes open source

license compliance simple and consistent in the supply chain.

› OpenChain Specification identifies the core requirements of a quality compliance program.

› OpenChain Conformance helps organizations display adherence to these requirements.

› OpenChain Curriculum provides basic open source processes and best practices.

› The result is open source license compliance becomes more predictable, understandable and efficient for the software supply chain.

If You Can’t Measure It, You Can’t Improve It: Our Newest Project

Community health analytics open source software to help answer the difficult questions:

› How can we know if this project will exist in 10 years?

› What is the health of the projects this project depends on?

› Is there a diverse community?

› Are there licensing risks?

Extracting Knowledge From CHAOSS

CHAOSS will develop metrics, including:

› Project lifecycle

› Diversity and inclusion

› Risk and provenance

› Ecosystem impact

In addition…

› Develop a FLOSS reference implementation of defined metrics

› Integrate GrimoireLab, Prospector and Cregit into a collaborative framework

› Develop a better understanding of how contributions happen

Backed by:

› Red Hat, Bitergia, Eclipse Foundation, Linaro, Mozilla, OpenStack, Polytechnique Montreal, Sauce Labs, Software Sustainability Institute, Symphony Software Foundation, University of Missouri, University of Mons, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and University of Victoria, Laval University, and Jono Bacon Consulting

Learn and adopt security best practices

https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz

100 Projects Granted CII Best Practice Badge

› Initiative launched in May 2016 to raise awareness of development processes and governance steps for better security outcomes

› The badge makes it easier for users of open source projects to see which projects take security seriously, it isn’t a “rubber stamp” process

› 1,000 projects registered for the badge

› While only 10% of the projects successfully passed, every one of them made an improvement to achieve a badge – which indicates that we are truly moving the needle on open source security

› Engage› Developers

› Users

› Ease commercial dependency

› Healthy Community: engage, support, contribute and consume

› Not just code – user feedback, documentation

› Document your governance

› Inclusive, diverse and welcoming

› Strong IP practices – clear licensing, automated practices

› Make security a competency

› Grow the ecosystem of users and professionals› Think of FOSS project materials as “training”

› Enable users and professionals to identify, build a community that identifies

› Hold meetups, events, other options to meet face-to-face and share experiences
