On the surface, this seems like great news.
Does anyone have any insight into what level of influence Linux Foundation's Platinum Corporate Members have over it's priorities and direction?
Beyond the obvious (Google), MS are invested in Blink and Tencent/QQ in Webkit. I guess there's scope for branching out in terms of engine use but... MS have already tried that quite a lot.
I'm not saying that it's necessary for all Foundation Corporate Members to be actively adopting Foundation projects, but more that some may have commercial interest in those projects not competing with their own.
- SimonSapin 6y agoSetting priorities and direction is the responsibility of the Technical Steering Committee: https://servo.org/governance/ https://servo.org/governance/ The plan is to later have a Board responsible for financial decisions. Paid sponsorship to Servo (not just to LF) can grant a seat on the Board but not on the TSC.
