The Linux Foundation used to have a project to do this (Core Infrastructure Initiative), but it looks like they closed it down in 2021. Not sure if the LF is the right sort of organization for this.
But I'm very sure that ESR's involvement is the kiss of death for something like this.
- dtaht 3y agoThe core infrastructure initiative sucked a lot of air into their room, and accomplished almost nothing.
- the_biot 3y agoWhich is not uncommon for the LF, and why I doubt they were ever the right place to host this. Ironically the reason the LF came into existence was IIRC "get Linus a steady paycheck", perilously close to this failed CII.
- dtaht 3y agoThere is an even sadder backstory to the whole LF thing, and the time it got created and sucked the air out of the room. I wish we had found a way to get this idea off the ground, and established the academic and early response institution we dreamed of. https://web.archive.org/web/20141217131407/http://icei.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20141217131407/http://icei.org/ But I do not want to talk about it, or how I feel about LF, the loss of GPL enforcement, the state of the embedded market, or the demise of linux journal, and of so many other ideals I still hold dear. I just keep plugging on, fixing bufferbloat, and home routers. Y'all caught me on a friday night, after a long week, trying to improve the cybersecurity label initiative at the FCC, as well as girding loins for yet another pointless battle over pointless points over network neutrality debate.
