In a new blog post, Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin officially welcomed the OpenPOWER Foundation to the Linux community and said The Linux Foundation looks forward to working with the OpenPOWER Foundation to drive open innovation in new ways and in new places.
“A year ago, many of us in the Linux community took notice when IBM, NVIDIA, Mellanox, Tyan and Google announced their intentions to form the OpenPOWER Foundation, a group through which the IBM POWER processor architecture would be opened up for development. Now, one year later, the group has officially formed and the notion of open hardware development that starts at the processor level has resonated with many.”
