Linux Foundation sets up India entity to boost open source collaboration


Linux Foundation has launched its India entity to boost open-source contributions from the South Asian nation, the second largest developer base after the U.S.

The Indian entity will work with local developers, enterprises, startups, and intergovernmental organizations in the country to incubate and support open source software projects. Joshipura told TechCrunch that the Reserve Bank of India and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology are already using some of Linux Foundation’s projects through the LF Decentralized Trust for developments such as the ongoing pilots for Digital Rupee and National Blockchain Framework. It will also help stimulate the ongoing tech collaborations between the U.S. government and its Indian counterpart and enable the standardization of open source de-facto for critical infrastructure, including telecom.
