Greg Kroah-Hartman moves to the Linux FoundationGreg Kroah-Hartman moves to the Linux FoundationPosted Feb 2, 2012 22:01 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: Greg Kroah-Hartman moves to the Linux Foundation by ds2horner Parent article: Greg Kroah-Hartman moves to the Linux Foundation
remember that in large part the Linux Foundation was created to have a way to pay Linus to work on Linux full time without having him work for any distro or other company that would appear to have an agenda to push about what should happen in Linux.
LF has since hired additional folks, but the intent seems to be the same.
If these people worked for Red Hat, then statements by Red Hat Management would be viewed as having more influence on development directions than they really do.
The same thing goes the other way. Just look at all the flames directed at Sony because one of their employees decided to contribute to toybox, even though there are probably fewer than a half dozen people in Sony who even knew that that employee was doing so.

Not entirely true - they are pushing linux distro's (meego, earlier, now that new thingy) for example. Realize that it is basically a bunch of companies who figure out together what the LF should be doing. Is that good or bad? Hard to say...

No, the LF is NOT pushing a distro (be it Moblin/Meego/Tizen/whatever).
That group is merely a bunch of LF member companies coming together to work
Remember, Meego is just like the "Carrier Grade Linux" project, neither
