Linux Foundation courts individual members
Sep 23rd, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: LinuxDesktopLinux.com: After announcing its first event for “end users,” the Linux Foundation has begun to promote “individual memberships.” Available now for $50 a year, memberships include a T-shirt, quarterly newsletter, and the “ability to run for and vote for a Linux Foundation board seat,” says the organization.
The Linux Foundation was created in January of 2007, by the merger of the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and Free Standards Group (FSG). It is best known for maintaining the Linux Standards Base, as well the Carrier Grade Linux specification.
