Twitter to Join The Linux Foundation

Twitter will be joining the Linux Foundation – the nonprofit consortium working towards growth of Linux, next week it has announced.

The Linux Foundation enables companies and consumers to come together to discuss and collaborate on development of Linux. The foundation has attracted quite a few companies like IBM, Google, HP, Oracle in the past and Twitter will be joining the ranks next week

Chris Aniszczyk, Manager – Open Source at Twitter, said, “Linux and its ability to be heavily tweaked is fundamental to our technology infrastructure.” With thousands of Linux servers in its network the micro-blogging site will be joining the foundation in a bid to promote, protect and advance Linux.

Zniszczyk added, “By joining The Linux Foundation we can support an organization that is important to us and collaborate with a community that is advancing Linux as fast as we are improving Twitter.”

Chris will be delivering the keynote with a presentation titled “The Open Source Technology Behind a Tweet” at Linux Foundation’s LinuxCon event next week.
