Jim Zemlin and the Linux Foundation share not-so-secret open-source sauce


Collaborative innovation has been the group's driving force for a quarter of a century. Or, to paraphrase Lao Tzu, the journey of a thousand open-source programs starts with a single project.

To help manage its explosive business growth, two non-profit organizations, the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and the Free Standards Group (FSG), were founded. Zemlin added: "What's crazy is, now, all these years later, Microsoft is a prolific contributor to open source, and they've based a huge part of their business on open-source technology." Through collaborative projects and consortia, it has brought together industry giants and startups, competitors, and partners under a shared vision of an open, interconnected technology landscape.
