How the Linux Foundation is reckoning with its security and diversity issues
Linus Torvalds is back in charge of Linux. With that elephant out of the room - what else might the Linux Foundation be keen to address?
Speaking with Computerworld UK at the Open Source Summit in Edinburgh this week, executive director of the Foundation, Jim Zemlin, outlined three key areas of improvement: application security, diversity, and data sharing.

These are the most pressing issues outlined by Zemlin, but another area where the Foundation hopes to see improvement is bolstering collaboration, specifically around the rise of machine learning, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics.
As these become more important to how people build technology products and services, Zemlin adds, the importance of code sharing also increases.
"I think the concept of taking open source practices of code sharing and lending them to data sharing is something that we could assist on, and to that end we've created an open data licence - two of them actually, a copyleft one and a more permissive data licence, similar to how standardised open source licences made it easy to share code, make it easy to share data."
