Most web companies use open source and Linux software. The social network Facebook with its two billion members is no different.
Εδώ και χρόνια, το Facebook δεν χρησιμοποιεί μόνο λογισμικό ανοιχτού κώδικα, αλλά συμβάλει ενεργά και σε μεγάλα projects ανοιχτού κώδικα. Αυτά περιλαμβάνουν τη βιβλιοθήκη React JavaScript. Το project Open Compute Project, and the cGroup2 container software for Linux.
Well we have good news and bad news: Now Facebook has acquired its membership Linux Foundation in a level Platinum. We're off to a good start, as that means more money in the Linux coffers Foundation.
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. As a Platinum member, Facebook's Head of Open Source Kathy Kam will join the Linux Foundation's board of directors. Kam has been a technician, product manager, and leader for 20 years developer relations with vast experience in open source management. He previously worked at Google and 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 the developers of the company 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.
