Twitter has announced that it will join the Linux Foundation, thus joining other companies in supporting the growth of the system. |
Twitter uses Linux on its servers. Chris Aniszczyk, Twitter employee stated:
Linux, with its ability to be profoundly modified, is central to our technology infrastructure. By joining the Linux foundation we can support an organization that we consider important and collaborate with a community evolving to Linux as fast as we are improving Twitter.
Aniszczyk himself will probably give a few more details about Twitter's entry into the foundation in a talk at the LinuxCon event next week about the open source behind every tweet. Other companies that are part of the Linux foundation are IBM, Intel, Google, HP, Oracle, Samsung, Fujitsu, Nokia, Yahoo, Adobe, Motorola or NVIDIA, the latter joining at the beginning of last March.

Come on 🙂 another giant
for me it is also good news
Interesting… very interesting !!
Note: I like the icons… they move !!! ejjee !!
More companies, what was missing.
And to make matters worse, something completely useless such as a social network.
I know that it will hurt someone but there are opinions for all tastes.
By the way, the ubunto are saddened by those who do not find out that these companies are going to take advantage of Linux code for their private code things.
Hahaha but how delusional.
NO COMPANY IS GOOD AT LINUX OR OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE.
I don't know how they don't understand that
Some of the mentioned companies have a very bad reputation from Linux users,: ORACLE: I destroy Opensolaris, OpenOficce and now maybe they are going to destroy MySQL, NVIDIA: their drivers for Linux leave too much to be desired and I even dare to say that some They are unfortunate, NOKIA: it is closer to Microsoft than to Linux, ADOBE: Their commercial products are not directly developed on the Linux platform, and lately they are abandoning the support of the technologies they had in Linux.
Will Twitter join the Linux foundation? it does not seem to me a momentous news.
Many of them, the only interest they have in Linux is to take advantage of its technology, since it is free, for their own proprietary products, not to help Linux grow, much less boost it or any of its many free solutions, that they would eat the ground precisely to the proprietary solutions of those companies.
It is a way, on the one hand, to take advantage of its technology, and on the other, to have the market controlled in terms of Linux. So many others are directly slipping the residual market that Linux has, they are not concerned and they will not do anything to change that, such as Adobe.
Well, many pale ones throw and with good fundamentals, even so, for me it is still good news.
While I mostly agree, I think Nokia is no closer to MS, apart from having joined together to release a phone with Window mobile. He always looked for open solutions, and as far as I know, his plan B (because they are already seeing that Windows did not have much reception) is to migrate to Android. As for NVIDIA, it is just joining this year. And from what I saw, he was collaborating with Valve to bring Steam to Linux. And if ORACLE tries to destroy MySQL, hopefully the community will rescue it as it did with OO, creating Libre Office
