Linux Foundation Expands Membership with Marvell, Nokia and VirtualLogix

The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organisation dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, announced three new members who represent the increasing opportunity for Linux as it continues to mature on devices.

New members include Marvell, a provider of storage, communications and consumer silicon solutions. Nokia, a mobile communications gear manufacturer; and VirtualLogix, a provider of real-time virtualisation technology for connected devices.

“It’s really important to understand the issues and opportunities for Linux in multiple environments, and the addition of Marvell, Nokia and VirtualLogix will deepen our understanding and help us all push the envelope even further,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation. “We’re looking forward to rolling up our sleeves with these new members in the coming months, including at our first Member Meeting this June.”
