Meta, the creator of popular open source projects like React, React-Native, and Jest, has joined the OpenJS Foundation, which provides vendor-neutral support for the open source JavaScript community.
As a gold member, Meta will be working with the foundation to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the community.
Robin Ginn, OpenJS Foundation Executive Director, said in a statement, “Welcome Meta! Their positive effect on the JavaScript ecosystem has been amazing. Heavy users at the scale of JavaScript itself, creators of React and React-Native, creators of multiple key open source projects. We look forward to working more with Meta’s leadership and expertise to increase support for the diverse open source communities at OpenJS.”
Meta Open Source has contributed significantly to the JavaScript ecosystem by creating and open sourcing many projects crucial to its growth, such as React, Jest, and Flow. Last year, Meta contributed its popular JavaScript testing project Jest to OpenJS, which received an enthusiastic response from developers for this community-led project.
Working collectively with other member companies and with the guidance of the OpenJS Foundation, Meta will continue to contribute and advocate in the community.
Meta’s decision to join the OpenJS Foundation [could] have a positive impact on the open source JavaScript community. With the foundation providing support for sustained growth and fostering inclusivity, Meta’s contribution and leadership [could] go a long way in improving the ecosystem.
The OpenJS Foundation is committed to supporting the healthy growth of the JavaScript ecosystem and web technologies by providing a neutral organization to host and sustain projects, as well as collaboratively fund activities for the benefit of the community at large.
The OpenJS Foundation is made up of 41 open source JavaScript projects, including Appium, Dojo, Jest, jQuery, Node.js, and webpack, and is supported by 30 corporate and end-user members, including GoDaddy, Google, IBM, Joyent, Microsoft, and Netflix.
These members recognize the interconnected nature of the JavaScript ecosystem and the importance of providing a central home for projects that represent significant shared value, according to the Linux Foundation.
