Samsung Electronics joins Linux Foundation at Platinum level

The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, just announced a new member - Samsung Electronics. The Korean technology powerhouse has signed up with the organization as a Platinum member.



The company’s investments in Android and other Linux-based operating systems and tools are contributing to its success as one of the world’s largest device makers. Samsung Electronics uses Linux throughout its company, across product lines, divisions and geographies. For example, Samsung Electronics’ Android-based Galaxy series has been faring quite well on a global scale and is experiencing high demand in all regions alongside other Linux-based consumer electronics, such as televisions and home appliances. By using Linux, the company can innovate on device design and functionality, offering a large variety of electronic products at varying price points.


With the recent announcement, Samsung Electronics is reiterating its commitment to Linux and investing its resources in a platform it believes will help sustain its global leadership position. The company will work with The Linux Foundation on streamlining its participation with the kernel community and adopting open source best practices.
