Today we are more than thrilled to welcome PyTorch to the Linux Foundation. Honestly, it's hard to capture how big a deal this is for us in a single post but I'll try.  TL;DR — PyTorch is one of the most important and successful machine learning software projects in the world today. We are excited to work with the project maintainers, contributors and community to transition PyTorch to a neutral home where it can continue to enjoy strong growth and rapid innovation. We are grateful to the team at Meta, where PyTorch was incubated and grew into a massive ecosystem, for trusting the Linux Foundation with this crucial effort.

Is your organization consuming open source software, or is it starting to contribute to open source projects? If so, perhaps it's time for you to start an OSPO: an open source program office. At the LF, we're dedicating resources to improving your understanding of all things open source, such as our Guide to Enterprise Open Source and the Evolution of the Open Source Program Office, published the last year.  In a new Linux Foundation Research report, A Deep Dive into Open Source Program Offices, published in partnership with the TODO Group, authored by Dr.

By Ashwin Ramaswami Last month, we just concluded the Linux Foundation's 2022 Open Source Summit North America (OSS NA), when developers, technologists, and community leaders from industry, academia, and government converged in Austin, Texas, from June 21-24 to talk about all things open source. Participants and speakers highlighted open source innovation and efforts to ensure a sustainable open source ecosystem. What did the summit tell us about the state of OSS security? Several parts of the conference addressed different aspects of this issue – OpenSSF Day, Critical Software Summit, SupplyChainSecurityCon, and the Global Security Vulnerability Summit.

DUBLIN—September 13, 2022—The Linux Foundation, a global nonprofit organization enabling innovation through open source, today announced the intention to form the OpenWallet Foundation (OWF), a new collaborative effort to develop open source software to support interoperability for a wide range of wallet use cases. The initiative already benefits from strong support including leading companies across technology, public sector, and industry vertical segments, and standardization organizations. The mission of the OWF is to develop a secure, multi-purpose open source engine anyone can use to build interoperable wallets.

Green Software Foundation is excited to host an event during COP27 to highlight advancements in decarbonizing software, including the launch of a Software Carbon Intensity Specification – a new ISO standard in measuring green software, a new training program by The Linux Foundation, and a Patterns Catalogue for software engineers at every level to identify specific, actionable steps to green software. Developing and prioritizing software solutions that use more clean energy and guide climate-conscious energy consumption will dramatically reduce the carbon load needed for technology to meet future needs.

Because of my position as Executive Producer and host of The Untold Stories of Open Source, I frequently get asked, 'What podcasts do you listen to when you're not producing your own.' Interesting question. However, my personal preference, This American Life, is more about how they create their shows, how they use sound and music to supplement the narration, and just in general, how Ira Glass does what he does. Only podcast geeks would be interested in that, so I reached out to my friends in the tech industry to ask them what THEY listen to.
