The Netdev Foundation launches

The Netdev
Foundation
, which is “a user-led effort under the supervision of the
Linux Foundation, focused on financially supporting Linux networking
development
“, has announced its
existence
.

The initial motivation was to move the NIPA testing outside of
Meta, so that more people can help and contribute. But there
should be sufficient budget to sponsor more projects.

(NIPA is Netdev
Infrastructure for Patch Automation
).
