Linaro
Linaro

Linaro is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 120 engineers that leads open source software development for ARM technology. It works to help its members optimize Linux and other open source software to bring high-quality products to market quickly. Some of Linaro's achievements include contributions to the Linux kernel, developing the Linaro ARM GCC toolchain, and setting up continuous integration and testing systems. Linaro also works to upstream its optimizations and ensure they are included in the mainline Linux kernel.
