State of Linux
summary
Linux Foundation announces a core infrastructure initiative funding grants (OpenSSL, OpenSSH, NTP) after Heartbleed and recent Bash bugs and hosts the first in‑person OpenSSL meeting; asks for proposals from widely deployed but under‑resourced projects and lists corporate backers (Amazon, Facebook, Google, Intel). Foundation also hosts Dronecode (PX4) — 1,200+ developers, used by 3D Robotics, Qualcomm, Intel, Box, Skyward for aerial photography, precision agriculture and search‑and‑rescue. Claims that ~80% of many products’ code is open source, prompting dedicated external R&D teams and more IP/law expertise.
