Address

What is physical location of foundation HQ ?

Income

Who funds and makes decisions?

Who pays what, and who's on their board?

Since this is an encyclopaedia rather than some advertising space, these are the first questions to ask. Gronky (talk) 11:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. This is a good start - there's plenty of material there for basic article-padding, although locating secondary sources for some of the more intricate details may be tricky. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:33, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs a History section

With details. Those who are ignorant of history ... CountMacula (talk) 00:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Intro reads like an ad

The intro should state facts instead of repeating LF's public statements about itself. If LF wrote this article, the intro would probably be exactly as it is now.

Facts are: who funds it, who has decision power, and what do they do (concrete stuff, not "we protect Linux"). Gronky (talk) 12:31, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Taking money from Microsoft

Just leaving this here for now. It's not currently mentioned in the article:

Linux Foundation Sponsors Now Includes Microsoft?

Hi! The Linux Foundation is interested in providing resources to help make this page more current and factual. As a contractor of the foundation, I have a conflict of interest, but will be happy to propose changes backed by third-party verifiable sources for editors to consider. I am also available to help research and provide verification for topics you’d like to update. I much appreciate your feedback and consideration. To start, here are several images for use that might be of interest. All are available under creative commons:
