The Linux Foundation, a nonprofit that fosters a vendor-neutral environment for open source projects, announced the creation of the React Foundation.
Its mission is to help the community and its members maintain React’s infrastructure, organize the React Conf, and create initiatives to support the React ecosystem, with its UI developments.
A decade ago, Meta open-sourced React. Since then, React has grown into one of the world’s most popular environments, powering over 50 million websites and products built by companies such as Microsoft, Shopify, Bloomberg, Discord, Coinbase, the NFL, and others.
With React Native, React has expanded to support platforms beyond the web, including mobile, tablets, desktops, TVs, gaming consoles, and even mixed reality devices.
The React Foundation’s governing board will consist of representatives from Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel, with the intention to expand further over time.
The technical governance structure will be independent of the React Foundation.
Meta has committed to a five-year partnership with the React Foundation, including over $3 million in funding and dedicated engineering support.
