Shape the future of Arm Software

Linaro is member driven. Member engineers work with Linaro engineers to solve common software problems. Why?

No need to differentiate on the basics

Because collaborating on common software allows participating member companies to direct more resources towards differentiating their products. In effect, collaborating on non-differentiation allows you to focus more on differentiation.

Faster problem solving = accelerated time to market

Having engineers from all the member companies work together with Linaro engineers - many of which are world-reknown Arm software experts - means more eyes on the problem. The more people who look at the problem, the quicker it gets solved and the better the solution. And the quicker the basics are resolved, the faster you get your product to market.

Arm & Open Source Software Expertise

Linaro is the collaboration platform for Arm software, formed in 2010 for this very purpose. We contribute to over 70 open source projects, many of which we maintain. If you want a say in how Arm software evolves and want to work with leading technology companies to develop and implement actual engineering solutions, Linaro membership is for you.

Core Membership

Core members drive the direction of software development in the Arm ecosystem. They can participate in any of Linaro’s projects or segment groups and have access to their own dedicated engineering team.

“The collaboration platform for the Arm partnership. Where everyone comes together to collaborate on open source software, where conversations take place and non-differentiating solutions are discussed and worked upon. ”

Thomas Molgaard, Arm

Club Membership

Club members influence the direction of Arm software development and can participate in any of Linaro’s segment groups. At an additional fee, they can also have access to their own dedicated engineering team and participate in additional Linaro projects.

“One thing that is unique about Linaro is the breadth of worldwide companies that are in it. I don’t think we get as diverse of a group in any of the other organisations that I am in. ”

Bill Mills, Texas Instruments

Group Membership

Group members drive strategy within a specific vertical and can participate in any of the Linaro projects set up by their segment group. Linaro manages the following groups: Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, Consumer, Datacenter & Cloud, Edge & Fog Computing, IoT & Embedded and HPC.

“All members are focused around the Arm infrastructure and architecture. As a result, we are all looking for common optimisations and common environments to build on, regardless of whether we're targeting a server, networking or edge device. ”

Larry Wikelius, Marvell
