Software foundations
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37262440: As someone who has been involved in many open source foundations over the years, they all have their pros/cons. If you are looking for the most customized approach, the Linux Foundation (LF) is probably the most customizable as they have build hundreds of entities that many people may not think of being part of the LF… CNCF… GraphQL Foundation… R Consortium… OpenJS Foundation… Overture Maps Foundation… LF is really “foundation as a service” and they are best at ecosystem building from my biased perspective.
There are other foundations out there with their own advantages… ASF is very lightweight and pretty much accepts anything open source as long as you adhere to their fairly simple rules… EF is great if you have a need for a European base etc
