Why are Linux Foundation Events Different? If open source software is eating the world, Linux Foundation events give companies a privileged seat at the table. It’s well established that leading companies are using open source strategically to power their business. Smart companies realize that to gain a competitive advantage they must influence and learn directly from the open source maintainers and developers who are steering the projects being used to create commercial products and services. Linux Foundation events are the only place where companies can reach the maintainers and developers across all the important open source software projects in enterprise, networking, embedded, IoT and cloud infrastructure. Aligning your development efforts and R&D with open source upstream projects is now non-negotiable. Those who master open source profit with lower costs and faster time to market. Those who don’t, struggle to keep up. In the software talent arms race, companies must understand and influence the open source developers in order to win.

But how to influence the world of open source maintainers and developers? “We sponsor Linux Foundation events because they are high quality, professional events filled with a diverse group of smart people working on interesting projects just the type of people we enjoy talking to.”
They don’t attend the same industry conferences as business executives and management, and they value collaboration and technical work more than extravagant booths or pretty keynote graphics. Linux Foundation events are the industry’s primary gathering place for open source maintainers and developers.
DAWN M. FOSTER DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY PUPPET LABS
If integrating external R&D into your company is important to you, attending, sponsoring or speaking at a Linux Foundation event is crucial. From the Linux kernel, to Hadoop, OpenDaylight, OpenStack, Docker, CloudStack, Mesos, Puppet and many more, Linux Foundation events gather the maintainers and developers who are creating the projects that make up tomorrow’s computing infrastructure.
