According to the latest annual report from the Linux Foundation (LF), less than 3% of its budgetary resources are allocated to the thing it is named after!

    yeah, some of the budget goes to what looks like maintaining infrastructure that other projects use (i assume). but the 12% AI and 4% blockchain are pretty indefensible…

        Not very clear why Linux foundation would give more funds to blockchain projects than to the Linux kernel itself.

        Crypto projects have ways to fund themselves just fine. And as they are commonly negatively seen in the open-source community, this kind of funding from one of the largest bodies in the open-source world raises some eyebrows.
