Panel Discussion: Contribute with Clarity: Choosing Your...
summary
Linux Foundation now hosts over 200 projects and adds 150–250 a year while offering a Community Specification License designed to let GitHub workflows produce stable, implementable standards; a community-driven NPE defense called the Open Source Zone (launched 2019 with Unified/OIN) funds administrative challenges and runs prior art contests to cut troll settlement pressure; projects should decide goals and IP scope early, involve the OSPO/legal team, consider liaison agreements for standards bodies, and plan trademarks and conformance before launch.
