The Linux Foundation Presents Three New Members
Three new companies, spurred by the worldwide increase of Linux adoption, decided to maximize their investments in Linux by joining The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux. The three new companies in question are: Hisense Mobile, Solarflare Communications, and Thomas-Krenn.AG.
“Contributing to Linux and participating in the global community of individuals and organizations that build the operating system gives new members an opportunity to maximize their work,” said Amanda McPherson, vice president of marketing and developer services at The Linux Foundation. “Linux is offering a diverse range of opportunity for companies looking to expand their business and Linux Foundation members can help unlock those opportunities even more effectively through collaboration.”
