Facebook on the Linux Foundation as a platinum member

Most web companies use open source software and Linux. The social network Facebook with two billion members is no different.

For years, Facebook has not only used open source software, but also actively contributed to large ones ανοιχτού κώδικα. Αυτά περιλαμβάνουν τη βιβλιοθήκη React JavaScript. Το project Open Compute Project, και το λογισμικό κοντέινερ cGroup2 για Linux.

Well we have good news and bad news: Now Facebook has acquired its membership Linux Foundation at the Platinum level. We started well, as that means more money in the Linux Foundation coffers.

It was also expected. The Facebook open source team has been a member for a long time but has now entered the Linux Foundation at Platinum level to the highest level.

Here comes the bad news. Ως Platinum μέλος, η επικεφαλής του τμήματος Open Source του Facebook Kathy Kam θα ενταχθεί στο διοικητικό συμβούλιο του Linux Foundation. Η Kam είναι 20 χρόνια τεχνικός, management, και ηγέτης στο developer relations με τεράστια εμπειρία στην διαχείριση του ανοιχτού κώδικα. Είχε εργαστεί στο παρελθόν στην Google και την Microsoft.

Why bad news? Facebook has been criticized for how it manages privacy and for a policy that is not impartial as there are often strong partisan nuances. We hope Facebook's voice does not change the Linux Foundation philosophy.

Otherwise its developers ς they have proved that they can produce work by participating in large open source projects hosted on the Linux Foundation, such as Presto, GraphQL, Osquery and ONNX.
