One Year On: Linux Foundation & Sustainability
summary
One year after launching LF Sustainability portal, Linux Foundation documents a portfolio of over 1,000 projects with open source present in 80–90% of global digital infrastructure, and research shows most LF projects advance SDG 9 while SDG 6 and SDG 14 are underrepresented. Concrete cases include Hyperledger powering the Bong project to give payments access to ~70% unbanked Cambodians, LF Energy tools (Sono, Grid Exchange Fabric, Everest) for electrification, Zephyr tracking caribou and rhinos, and PyTorch being used in multiple published health-data studies. Ongoing qualitative interviews and a tooling landscape are underway.
