It has been two years since the Linux Foundation launched its European subsidiary,Linux Foundation Europe, under the leadership of veteran open source leader Gabriele Columbro as general manager. I had the opportunity to sit down with Columbro at the Open Source Summit in Vienna, Austria to discuss how the Foundation has grown over the years. According to Columbro, Linux Foundation Europe now boasts 173 members and oversees five active projects. It has also strengthened its engagement with the European Union on key policy issues, including the CRA and AI Act. Linux Foundation Europe aims to reduce friction for projects with strong European participation by offering benefits such as hosting projects within Europe and applying for European public funding.
