14 DAY TRIAL // The Linux Foundation has announced that five new companies from Japan are joining the organization: Ashisuto, Aisin AW, JVC KENWOOD Corporation, NTT DATA MSE, and Turbo Systems
According to The Linux Foundation, Japan has been a leader in Linux development for some time so it's only natural that some companies will want to join.
The Linux Foundation's newest members will collaborate to advance Linux in these areas at LinuxCon Japan, taking place this year from June 6th to June 8th. This event aims to support collaboration between Japan and other Asia Pacific countries and the rest of the global Linux community.
"Japanese companies and developers are among the brightest in the world, and are important contributors to the advancement of Linux," said Amanda McPherson, vice president of marketing and developer services at The Linux Foundation.
"The Linux Foundation's newest members from Japan will accelerate Linux development efforts across industries ranging from automotive to mobile and embedded development to communications technologies."
The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit consortium dedicated to fostering the growth of Linux. Founded in 2000, the organization sponsors the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds and promotes, protects and advances the Linux operating system by marshaling the resources of its members and the open source development community.
