For us, it is also natural that __all__ Networking projects within the Linux Foundation will join this new umbrellawhich, of course, concern FRRdespite that it is a small project compared to ODL, ONAP and others.

>>>     Hello Open Source Networking Project Developers:
>>>
>>>     The Linux Foundation is proud and humbled to host such a collection of
>>>     critical and influential open source networking projects for enterprise,
>>>     cloud, and carriers alike.  Over the past 5 years these projects have
>>>     formed, grown, and matured into key infrastructure components on which
>>>     tomorrow’s networking solutions are based.
>>>
>>>     Through this journey, members across various networking projects have
>>>     requested alignment of the business governance and a greater opportunity
>>>     for technical leverage and collaboration.  To that end, the Linux
>>>     Foundation has embarked on a plan to provide a structure that allows for
>>>     aligned governance & cross project collaboration while maintaining the
>>>     technical independence of all projects.
>>>
>>>     To explain this exciting opportunity, answer questions, and get your
>>>     feedback, we are hosting a pair of Webinars next week on Nov. 6th, and
>>>     7th.  If you’ve been hearing about “Harmonization”, and/or “Umbrella”
>>>     activities and want to understand where we are with those initiatives,
>>>     please join us for this Webinar.
