... [T]he Linux Foundation has shown it can manage competing visions and egos, a bit like when Phil Jackson ran the Bulls.” Newsweek, G. Burningham, May 10, 2016

In 2016, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Linux, the most successful software in history. At the same time, we pause to consider the immense changes that open source development has brought not only to the technology industry, but to society—and how much work has yet to be completed.

Open source enables phenomenally rapid innovation. Each day Linux alone sees 9,100 lines of code added, 4,800 removed and 1,800 changed. Development on that scale is only possible with the active and enthusiastic support of communities that stretch beyond the confines of any single organization.

The preference for open source as a development model has become so evident that today it’s the de facto standard for software R&D. Within The Linux Foundation, we’re hosting more than 50 vibrant projects and supporting the growth of their ecosystems. From open networking initiatives, to critical JavaScript projects, to influential cloud and container technology communities, the most successful open source projects have their home at The Linux Foundation. The estimated development cost of their code is an astonishing $14.5 billion, with the economic value created many times higher.

The Linux Foundation has earned its reputation as the trusted, neutral home where developers and organizations, regardless of size or geography, know they can participate in open source. That’s propelled us, yet it also creates important obligations.

A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR


2

As the caretaker for Linux, we’re responsible for the software that powers nearly every high-performance computing system in the world, more than half of the smartphones and tablets in use, and 90 percent of all financial exchanges. We’re directing funding to advances in security to help protect the devices and systems that society depends upon. We’re also investing in training the next generation of developers and users, while making open source communities more inclusive in order to ensure that rewarding technology careers are open to all.

As we prepare for 2017, we’re excited by the challenge of supporting the continued evolution of Linux and all of our projects. We extend our sincere gratitude to the thousands of developers and organizations worldwide who have chosen The Linux Foundation as their open source partner and look forward to another year serving you.

Hyperledger: Changing the Nature of Our Financial System

Hyperledger is a collaborative effort created to advance blockchain technologies by identifying and addressing important features for cross-industry distributed ledgers that can transform the way business transactions are conducted globally.

Blockchain is a peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology for a new generation of transactional applications that establishes trust, accountability and transparency while streamlining business

processes. It might be considered an operating system for interactions.

Brian Behlendorf, executive director of Hyperledger, commented: “Hyperledger is a technology community poised to change the nature of trust on the Internet. As Ginni Rometty, the head of IBM, said recently, ‘The blockchain is to transactions what the Internet was to information.’ It can reinvent how the world works everywhere from Wall Street to the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. Hyperledger’s goal is to be a

home for open source teams building all sorts of approaches to blockchain technology systems—distributed ledgers, smart contracts and more—that together provide a platform for the next generation of digital marketplaces and distributed applications.”

In Hyperledger’s first year, it has become the fastest-growing project within The Linux Foundation. As of fall 2016, the project has nearly 100 members, including more than 20 in China; three major codebases; and more than 100 active contributors.


15

The Linux Foundation has achieved an unbelievable feat in bringing together a community of traditionally competitive institutions. To facilitate such extensive collaboration between startups, financial and non financial corporations and technology giants is an enormous win for the whole distributed ledger industry as firms look to leverage mutually beneficial code for the common good.” Blythe Masters, CEO, Digital Asset

JS Foundation: Supporting the JavaScript Ecosystem

In October 2016, The Linux Foundation launched the JS Foundation, a center of gravity where JavaScript developers and organizations can create, share and find the next big innovation to bet on.

Kris Borchers, executive director of the JS Foundation, said: “Our theme is ‘Innovate Together.’ Innovation on staggeringly small timescales is one of JavaScript’s major strengths. What this inevitably leads to, though, is a very fractured ecosystem where development and innovative ideas are happening so quickly and in so many different places that organizations and developers don’t know which project or which innovation to build their products on top of. By bringing together the JavaScript ecosystem, we’re providing a place where innovation can happen, while the community remains cohesive.”

Cloud Foundry Foundation: Enabling a Multi-Cloud Future

Cloud Foundry is changing the way global enterprises develop and deploy apps: the future of apps is multi-cloud. Millions of developers writing apps in multiple languages—Java, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Python, golang and more—are actively using 11 Cloud Foundry Certified PaaS platforms, including IBM Bluemix, SAP Hana Cloud Platform, GE Predix and Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

“The Cloud Foundry codebase has kept up with this explosive market growth, with a combined 31,000 commits,

2,400 contributors and 25 independent releases in the last 12 months alone,” explained Abby Kearns, executive director of Cloud Foundry Foundation. “As important, Cloud Foundry has maintained velocity with other leading open source projects, including collaborative development on interoperability with Docker, Mesos and Kubernetes.”

She continued: “The future holds significant growth for the Cloud Foundry community. National governments such as the United Kingdom, United States, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand and leading companies across financial services, automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare, insurance and retail have standardized on Cloud Foundry as their platform for app development and deployment. Driven by user demand, the community has established a goal of training and certifying 250,000 Cloud Foundry developers in the coming years.”

Cloud Native Computing Foundation: Sustaining and Integrating the Software Stack for Deploying Applications in the Cloud

The Linux Foundation announced its intent to form the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in mid 2015 and officially launched it with the support of 48 companies in December of that year. Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices, packaging each part into its own container, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation hosts critical components of those software stacks, including Kubernetes, Prometheus and OpenTracing; brings together the industry’s top developers, end users and vendors; and serves as a neutral home for collaboration.

Dan Kohn, executive director of CNCF, noted: “Kubernetes is now one of the most popular and fastest growing open source projects in history; many of the biggest and most important companies in the world are deploying on cloud native technologies like Kubernetes. An indicator of strong interest, CloudNativeCon + KubeCon in Seattle sold out a month before the conference, and we are planning to triple capacity in Berlin in March 2017 and Austin in December 2017.”

OpenDaylight and OPNFV: Collaborating to Drive Open Networking

The Linux Foundation is home to several open networking projects, including FD.io, IO Visor, PNDA, OpenSwitch, ONOS and CORD (with ON.Lab), OPEN-O and Open vSwitch. Two of the largest and most mature networking projects are OpenDaylight and OPNFV.

Neela Jacques, executive director of the OpenDaylight Project, commented: “OpenDaylight is transforming the way the world’s networks are provisioned and managed. From AT&T’s Network on Demand to Comcast Internet and Voice to Tencent’s WeChat service, billions of people this year are doing business over networks made more agile and programmable by OpenDaylight.”

In 2016, OpenDaylight delivered two major releases, celebrated the 150-deployment mark and experienced a huge increase in end-user participation—demonstrated by the fact that over half of all new projects in the latest release were led by end-user organizations. Describing OpenDaylight, Forbes’ Kurt Marko wrote: “The project’s success and momentum results from a combination of strong leadership, transparent governance, open, mostly volunteer development and big customers fed up with proprietary lock-in and inflexible systems.”

Heather Kirksey, director of OPNFV, said: “OPNFV is transforming global communications networks to make them more scalable, dynamic and agile. As the world’s service providers and large enterprises migrate their network infrastructure from proprietary hardware elements to software-based applications, OPNFV works to compose an end-to-end NFV platform on which the next generation of network services can run. Through integration, system-level testing and collaborative development of NFV features with upstream communities who focus on cloud, SDN, data plane and service orchestration innovation, OPNFV ensures that the networks of tomorrow will run on open source.”


21

Two years into the project’s founding, OPNFV has executed three releases, launched 15 federated community test labs across the world, attracted more than 250 developers to the project, 650 discussion participants on email lists and supported over 50,000 downloads. Since inception, the project has grown to 54 member organizations and launched a 19-company End User Advisory Group.

PROJECT SNAPSHOTS

Core Infrastructure Initiative and Let’s Encrypt: Fixing the Internet’s Most Critical Security Problems

The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) is a multimillion-dollar project to fund and support critical elements of the global information infrastructure. It is organized by The Linux Foundation and supported by Amazon Web Services, Bloomberg, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, HPE, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, NetApp, Qualcomm, RackSpace, Salesforce and VMware.

Working with a host of open source projects, the CII has funded work to both tactically fix exiting security bugs and strategically drive process improvements. The CII’s work includes direct funding of high-profile projects, programs to identify projects or components with high security risk, development of new tools or testing platforms for building open source projects, and programs to educate developers and encourage better security practices.

“Targeted funding to key projects like OpenSSL, GnuPG, Bouncy Castle and ntpd have increased the rate at which security issues have been identified, fixed and closed as well as helping to instil new security processes in these projects,” said Nicko van Someren, chief technology officer of The Linux Foundation. “Meanwhile, the Reproducible Builds Project has helped hundreds of package maintainers structure their code to allow for verification of locally compiled binaries against distribution builds, hundreds

of issues have been filed and fixed as a result of the CII-supported Fuzzing Project and several dozen projects have implemented the practices set out in the CII Best Practice Badge program and received their badges.”


23

The Linux Foundation also hosts Let’s Encrypt, a free, automated, open and global certificate authority (CA). The goal of Let’s Encrypt is to help create a 100% encrypted web by making it easier for websites to switch to HTTPS.

“Just under 40% of page loads on the web were encrypted when Let’s Encrypt launched in December of 2015,” commented Josh Aas, executive director of Let’s Encrypt. “In less than a year since then, the HTTPS page load percentage on the web is about to pass 50%, making the web more encrypted than not. Let’s Encrypt has been a major contributor to this growth, having quickly become the largest public CA in the world by issuance volume. We’re protecting more than 13 million websites with more than 10 million active certificates, and we’re still growing quickly.”

Linux: The Most Successful Open Source Project In History

In the past year, the Linux kernel development process was composed of 4,037 different developers working for over 400 different companies, making it the largest collaborative software project. They accepted patches at a rate of eight changes an hour, 24 hours a day. (A patch usually goes through many revisions before being accepted, so the community is creating many more changes than eight per hour.) On average, developers added over 9,100 lines, modified 1,800 lines and removed 4,800 lines of code every day, and the entire source code tree is now more than 22 million lines of code, supporting more different

hardware types and devices than any other operating system.

Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) leverages the billions of dollars of investment made in Linux to accelerate the development and adoption of a fully open software stack for the connected car. The project is uniting automakers and technology companies to develop a common platform that offers OEMs complete control of the user experience so the industry can rapidly innovate where it counts.

“AGL is at the forefront of open source development for automotive functional safety, advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous driving and deep learning,” noted Dan Cauchy, general manager, automotive at The Linux Foundation. “If software is in the vehicle, we want it all to be based on AGL, no matter what the function. We’re planning to address infotainment, instrument cluster, heads-up display, telematics, advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving. AGL is changing the way the driver interacts with the vehicle, the way vehicles interact with the road and the way vehicles interact with each other.”


25

As Linux turns 25, it’s worth pondering not only the impact of the endlessly morphing, proliferating OS itself, but its role in legitimizing open source and elevating it to the point where, today, it has become ground zero for technology development.” InfoWorld, Eric Knorr, August 22, 2016

150 EVENTS DRAW 20,000 OPEN SOURCE PROFESSIONALS

Linux Foundation events are the place where the leading open source technologists and business people meet to gain early insight into software trends and to inform decisions about future technology investments. They are also prime recruiting grounds for tough-to-find open source tech talent.

This year, we produced more than 150 events around the world, with proceeds channeled directly back into the technical communities that our members support.

We have long been known as the host of global technical events dedicated to Linux kernel and kernel subsystem maintainers, but in recent years, we have dramatically expanded our event portfolio to encompass a range of other technologies touching Linux. These include containers, cloud native, networking, big data, the Internet of Things, blockchain, virtualization and more.

Launching in spring 2017 and co-produced by the National Center for Women & Information Technology, all speakers and community members will have access to an on-demand training platform to learn how to be more inclusive in their talks, and in the community as a whole.

Also in 2017, LinuxCon, ContainerCon and CloudOpen will take on a new umbrella event name, Open Source Summit, in North America, Europe and Japan. The sub-conferences will be joined by a fourth pillar, the new Community Leadership Conference, created and chaired by industry leader Jono Bacon to expand on the successful Community Leadership Summits he’s held for years in the community.

We’re also very pleased to launch the first LinuxCon + ContainerCon + CloudOpen in China to support the growing interest in open source among developers and technology leaders in that region. More than 2,000 attendees are expected at the June event in Beijing, which will feature co-located events from OpenDaylight, Cloud Foundry Foundation and Hyperledger, as well as MesosCon China.

As open source becomes increasingly strategic to organizations, The Linux Foundation has responded with the Open Source Leadership Summit (formerly Collaboration Summit). The event will provide an intimate forum for discussion, cross-project pollination and best practices sharing for business, technical and open source program office leaders.

Simply put, no other open source organization gathers the number of community members in as many locations, covering as many topics as The Linux Foundation.

TRAINING ACCELERATES TECH DEVELOPMENT & ADOPTION

Open source powers everything. To help organizations use open source software strategically, The Linux Foundation provides a full portfolio of tools, including training, open source consulting services, and legal and compliance services. We’re years ahead of others in terms of scale, expertise and resources required to deliver these services. Additionally, and critically, The Linux Foundation is neutral—we focus on core technologies and do not promote one “flavor” over another.

Our training programs are meeting the demand for open source skills straight from the source. Because The Linux Foundation has the code and works directly with the communities developing it, we’re able to create training programs even before products come to market, creating a funnel of talent for any open source technology and a pathway for faster technology adoption.

The Linux Foundation provide everything from custom instruction and classroom training tailored for an organization’s specific needs, to certification testing, self-paced online learning and massive open online courses. Our courses previously centered on Linux, but have evolved to cover a range of open source projects, including OpenStack, OpenDaylight and soon Kubernetes. Companies are investing in employees who can help them not only adapt to, but maximize use of open source technologies. Many report that in addition to training their employees, they are looking to hire open source talent.

The 2016 “Open Source Jobs Report,” created in partnership between The Linux Foundation and the job data firm Dice, surveyed hiring managers and open source professionals about the market for open source employment. We found that 59 percent of hiring managers say they plan to add more open source pros to their ranks in the coming months, with the greatest interest in cloud technologies, networking, security and containers.

LINUX FOUNDATION TRAINING• More than 800,000 enrolled in our free courses the past three years• “Introduction to Linux,” our free course on the edX platform created by Harvard University

and MIT, is our top offering with over 600,000 registrations• Extensive course catalog covers Linux, embedded software development, cloud

computing, DevOps and more• Serve individuals in 215 countries• 67% of individuals trained are outside the US

CUSTOM OPEN SOURCE STRATEGIES PROMOTE BUSINESS GOALS

In support of our mission to promote the use of open source technology and to help companies get ready for open source, The Linux Foundation in 2016 launched the professional open source management consultancy. Our team brings decades of industry experience to help organizations understand and benefit from using, developing, contributing to and commercializing open source software while managing its legal, technical and operational challenges.

The Linux Foundation’s strategy consulting services include:

• License and intellectual property strategy, such as analysis of technology and IP portfolios to harmonize license choices and compliance requirements with system architecture and commercial goals

• Product and technology strategy built on open source best practices• Community, ecosystem and channel strategy• Go-to-market strategy to target the right markets• Legacy migration strategy to replace select applications, tools and stacks with open

source alternatives• Due diligence support to keep M&A deals moving

Our professional open source management services are offered individually or may be combined to create a complete open source management program. These encompass strategy, policy and process development; program implementation; and governance optimization to address operational and legal risk.

TODO GROUPThis year, TODO, an open group of companies collaborating on practices, tools and ways to run successful and effective open source projects and programs, joined The Linux Foundation. The group provides a forum for open source program managers to discuss challenges such as ensuring high-quality and frequent software releases, engaging with developer communities and contributing back to other projects effectively. A few of the members include Amazon, Box, Facebook, GitHub, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Pinterest, Salesforce, Square, Twitter and Walmart Labs.

LEGAL PROGRAMS ENSURE STABILITY OF OPEN SOURCE ACROSS A WIDE ECOSYSTEM

The Linux Foundation is focused on legal initiatives, programs and collaboration with the broader legal community working in open source. Through these efforts, we have promoted stability and adoption of open source projects across a wide ecosystem. We have also helped to evolve the legal frameworks and ecosystems that Linux Foundation projects and communities depend upon.

In 2016, The Linux Foundation began an effort to standardize a number of critical project terms and policies that are the basis for sharing much of the world’s open source intellectual property. We began by standardizing on a set of core intellectual property (IP) frameworks for The Linux Foundation’s new projects and are expanding those frameworks to existing projects. Leveraging and reusing a consistent approach allows us to reduce friction in legal reviews and provides a basis for continuous improvement because any issues identified in the future can be resolved more uniformly across all Linux Foundation projects.

The Linux Foundation used 2016 to assert leadership in our approach to open standards and open source software projects. We have become widely known for our work on open source software projects, but remain less known for our work with open standards. However, The Linux Foundation has shown leadership in creating IP frameworks that streamline and enable core IP protection in projects that combine both creation of standards or specifications with open source software development.

One example of this work is with the Open Container Initiative, which uses an IP policy combining both a license for the API specifications and the underlying open source implementation developed in the project itself.

Reducing barriers to open source software adoption also leads to helping companies comply with the terms of the open source licenses they’re implementing. In 2016, The Linux Foundation launched a new website for our Open Compliance Program, to consolidate information and access to our many license compliance initiatives.


33

The Linux Foundation also invested in creating a free training course for engineers on the basics of compliance as it relates to software development and release engineering. In just five months, more than 1,500 engineers registered for the course.

We also introduced a new eBook, the “Open Source Compliance Handbook” by Ibrahim Haddad. It was made available to Linux Foundation members mid-year and will be provided to the open source community during The Linux Foundation’s annual Open Compliance Summit in Japan.

The Linux Foundation also hosts communities focused on improving compliance. First announced in late 2015, this year the OpenChain community delivered its first specification and a complete training program. The OpenChain Compliance Specification 1.0 defines a common set of requirements and best practices for open source organizations to follow in an attempt to encourage an ecosystem of open source software compliance, particularly in corporate supply chain networks.

This year also proved to be a year of significant adoption for SPDX. A specification for sharing detailed package licensing information, SPDX v2.1 added a simple format for noting the license of a file in a comment tag within the file itself. This SPDX Short Identifier syntax makes it easy for release managers and compliance engineers to scan software to identify the licenses in a software build. The SPDX Short Identifiers were introduced in large Linux Foundation project codebases this year, such as the Linux kernel and Node.js.

In addition, the FOSSology community introduced tooling this year to increase the ease of adopting SPDX within an OpenChain-compliant program. New in 2016, FOSSology users can now generate SPDX documents from a source code scan, providing an open source solution for creating summary licensing information to pass along with code in the supply chain.

INCLUSIVENESS AT THE LINUX FOUNDATION

The Linux Foundation works to support diversity in our project communities, at our events, in our training programs and within our own organization. It’s imperative that everyone in the community feel welcome regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, age, religion or economic status.

Here are a few facts about who we are and what we do to support progress in this critical area:

LINUX FOUNDATION TEAM• Of our 150 employees, 46% are female,

substantially above the average for major tech companies, which is 30%.

• Women comprise 37% of our management team.

LINUX FOUNDATION BENEFITS• 12 weeks of parental leave, regardless of

whether you are a primary or secondary caregiver; inclusive of all parents regardless of birth, adoption, marital or domestic partner status.

• Full coverage for all types of families, including same-sex partners.

• Flexible work-life balance in a results- based organization that allows flexibility to address personal and family needs that conforms to the employee’s schedule.

LINUX FOUNDATION BOARD • Four of the 20 members of our Board of

Directors are female, or 20%. This is above the Fortune 1000 average of 17.9% and the highest percentage for any open source organization with a board with 15 or more members.

LINUX FOUNDATION EVENTS• Our events are covered by a rigorous code

of conduct that outlines expectations for all who participate in our community, as well as consequences for unacceptable behavior.

• This year, we added nursing rooms, rooms for quiet reflection, non-binary restrooms and free childcare at all of our events.

• We require diversity on panels at our events.

• Launching in spring 2017 and co-produced by the National Center for Women & Information Technology, all speakers at our events will have access to online training on how to be more inclusive in their talks.

• Our event venues are fully wheelchair accessible.

• We offer free scholarships based on economic need.

• We also provide scholarships and travel funding to help individuals from groups that are underrepresented in technology to attend our events.


35

LINUX FOUNDATION TRAINING• We provide free training directly to individuals through initiatives

such as The Linux Foundation Training (LiFT) Scholarship Program, which is in its sixth year.

• In 2016, The Linux Foundation received more than 1,000 applications for 14 scholarships.

• Winners ranged in age from 13 to 52 and were from Burkina Faso, Canada, Hungary, India, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, Uganda and the United States, including an active duty member of the US military.

• Early this year, The Linux Foundation and Goodwill Industries developed the Extended Learning Linux Foundation Scholarship Program to increase access to Linux and open source training certification to underserved communities. The program began with The Goodwill Excel Center, the first free public charter school for adults in Texas, and the Goodwill Career and Technical Academy in Central Texas. It includes free access to our Intro to Linux and Essentials of System Administration courses, as well as The Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator exam.

To support the creation of a more inclusive open source community, The Linux Foundation has partnered with the following organizations:
