It’s FOSS is an award-winning web portal that focuses on Open Source in general and Linux in particular.

It’s FOSS was founded in mid-2012 as a hobby project to help desktop Linux users and spread awareness about Linux and open source. As the popularity of It’s FOSS grew worldwide, it was incorporated as an independent company CHMOD777 Media Tech in mid-2018. The term chmod 777 is inspired from the Linux command chmod with parameter 777 which signifies access (to knowledge) for everyone.

OpenInfra Foundation is Now Part of the Linux Foundation Family

The OpenInfra Foundation, home to projects like OpenStack, Kata Containers, and StarlingX has officially joined the Linux Foundation family. This move represents a strategic pairing between two influential organizations in the open source infrastructure space.

This alliance promises to unlock new possibilities for how individuals and organizations create, manage, and collaborate on open source infrastructure.

What's Going On?

OpenInfra Foundation is Now Part of the Linux Foundation Family

By combining forces, the organizations aim to tackle duplication of effort and concentrate more on the technical development side of things. This streamlining should lead to more efficient use of resources and accelerate innovation across open infrastructure projects.

The Linux Foundation has a proven track record of providing stable, reliable governance, paired with long-term stability and industry-wide credibility.

Joining forces also translates to the creation of a larger community that will attract more contributors, users, and sponsors for open infrastructure projects.

Parallel to this, the OpenInfra Foundation has introduced the Open Infrastructure Blueprint — a practical guide designed to help organizations build AI-ready systems using open source technologies like Linux, PyTorch, OpenStack, and Kubernetes.

This partnership comes at a time when many organizations are actively seeking alternatives to costly, proprietary cloud services. As concerns grow over vendor lock-in and lack of control, open source infrastructure that's built on interoperable and community-driven technologies is becoming an increasingly attractive option.

Looking Forward

The goal of this partnership is to accelerate the development of open infrastructure technology and make it easier for businesses to adopt.

It also reflects a broader shift in the open source ecosystem, where organizations are teaming up to share resources, reduce duplication of effort, and build a stronger foundation together.

Moves like this could help level the playing field in cloud computing by offering real alternatives to the ones offered by Big Tech.

You can read more in OpenInfra’s blog post about the merger.

This is definitely a big win for open source! 😄
