Canonical the creators of Ubuntu Linux have joined the Linux Foundation as a Silver Member. The purpose of the foundation is to promote standards and prevent fragmentation of the Linux platform. The main point is that major vendors and now a second Linux distributor has joined the group increasing it’s relevance and importance.
