The world runs on open source, and projects need more than a version or source control system to scale. The Linux Foundation has evolved a proven methodology to transform projects into category leaders. LFX operationalizes this approach, providing a suite of tools built to facilitate every aspect of open source development. Critical projects must have their finger on the pulse of their entire developer ecosystem, with tools tailored to key stakeholders driving project development, including maintainers, contributors, community managers, marketers, and more.

Be part of the Linux Foundation team, helping to create LFX (https://lfx.linuxfoundation.org/) - a next-generation platform for fostering open source — to advance sustainability, security, and diversity in open-source technology.
