While a good deal smaller than the leading corporate open-source organization, The Linux Foundation, OIF has found a nice niche for itself in covering OpenStack-related open-source software. The OIF will continue to oversee OpenStack. But, with its 100-thousand community members, it will also help direct such cloud-friendly projects as Airship, Kata Containers, Magma, OpenInfra Labs, OpenStack, StarlingX, and Zuul.
The new group s platinum members are Ant Group, AT&T, Ericsson, FiberHome, Huawei, Red Hat, Wind River, and Tencent. They are joined by Facebook, which just became a top-level member. Altogether the OIF has more than 60 corporate members.
