    OpenInfra board calls for input on joining Linux Foundation

    Description:
    Jonathan Bryce has announced two open community meetings to hear
    input on the topic of the OpenInfra
    Foundation migrating to the Linux Foundation. Bryce
    wrote that the OpenInfra board has carefully evaluated its options,
    and sees joining the Linux Foundation as the best way forward. Like the Linux Foundation, the OpenInfra Foundation is 501(c)(3)
    nonprofit. According to the FAQ ,
    OpenInfra " is in great health, financially and otherwise " with
    a growth in membership of about 15% in the last year. However, its
    needs in 2025 are different than when it was founded as the OpenStack Foundation in 2012. While the opportunities ahead for open source to make a positive
    impact on the world are greater than they have ever been, the
    challenges are more significant as well, particularly with respect to regulations, licensing and geopolitical tensions that threaten global collaboration. The meetings will be held on February11 and February13 as
    Zoom calls. The OpenInfra board will schedule a vote after feedback
    has been collected and draft governance documents have been
    published.
