Linux Foundation launches LF India to expand global open source support and innovation

Chennai, Dec 11 (UNI) The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, on Wednesday announced the establishment of the LF India to expand global open source support and innovation.
LF India aims to foster open collaboration for Indian open source developers, enterprises, government organizations, and community.
It will engage regional startups and Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) with an initial focus
on open source projects including cloud native, telecommunications, Edge/IoT, blockchain, security, and domain-specific AI technologies across all vertical segments.
"Today, nearly 200,000 developers in India contribute to open source projects hosted by the Linux Foundation. With LF India, the Linux Foundation will serve as the ‘sandbox for innovation’ in the region, accelerating incubation and support for open source software (OSS) projects across startups, enterprises, and IGOs", according to a press release.
"For developers, LF India will invest in this growing, talented community through open source software training, local events and meetups", it said.
“As open source continues on its global growth trajectory, we are time and again inspired by the
rapid adoption of open technology in India, driven by policy and investment by government and organizations across the region,” said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director, Linux Foundation.
“LF India is an important milestone in the Linux Foundation’s mission to expand global awareness
of open source. We look forward to future partnerships with government leaders, enterprises and
the developer community during this exciting time of open source advancement”, he said.
India’s fast-growing developer community is on track to be the world’s largest by 2028. This highly skilled group is bolstered by the region's commitment to open innovation and technology, with a strong digital public infrastructure built with open source software. Investment in open technology continues to grow, creating opportunities for developers to contribute meaningfully to transformational technologies, thus enriching the growing deep tech startup ecosystem.
“We are excited to launch LF India focused on building collaborative open source communities and providing a sandbox for next generation projects,” said Arpit Joshipura, GM/SVP and Head of LF India. “Our focus will be on local innovation with global impact and from consumption to contribution.”
