Celebrating the Launch of the React Foundation


A New Era for React, and a Stronger JavaScript Ecosystem

By Robin Bender Ginn, Executive Director, OpenJS Foundation

The launch of the React Foundation at the Linux Foundation is a huge milestone for open source and the millions of developers who rely on JavaScript every day. React has become one of the most widely used ways to build modern apps, and now it has a dedicated home to support its infrastructure, community, and growth.

At the OpenJS Foundation, we see this as an exciting opportunity to explore future collaboration across the ecosystem. Developers don’t use React in isolation, they use it alongside Node.js, Electron, webpack, and many other projects we steward. Developers depend on these technologies working seamlessly together with React. A stronger React Foundation opens the door to closer alignment on security, sustainability and best practices that could bring even greater benefits to the entire JavaScript community.

The React Foundation is not just a win for React, it’s a win for JavaScript, open collaboration, and the open web.
