Break out foundation projects list into its own page?

The list of the projects is 150+ at last count. Not sure if it might be useful to declutter the Foundation page and break out the whole list of projects as a table with fields for date started, etc. The better to search, sort, and refer to projects with their own Wikipedia pages. Disclaimer: I volunteered on a two foundation projects over the years. Phil Wolff (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree, the list is far too long. – K4rolB (talk) 14:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

There is too many Projects to keep track of, and it's nearly impossible to find detailed information on some of them. Tri Comment (talk) 00:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC).

We don't have one, post-Covid. We did have a small office in San Francisco, but that's been gone for years. Ry Jones (talk) 18:55, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Project update - LF Decentralized Trust

Hi - As I've disclosed, I lead PR for Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LF Decentralized Trust.) This umbrella project was launched in October of 2024 and encompasses the Hyperledger ecosystem, Trust over IP community and new code bases and communities. I would like to/ask that someone update the "Hyperledger' listing on this page (which was already out of date) to an LF Decentralized Trust entry saying what I just outlined. Here is the source for the update: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Linux-Foundation-New-organizations-for-blockchain-and-developer-relations-9881458.html

Proposed addition to Projects section — AGNTCY project

I'd like to suggest a brief addition to the Linux Foundation article to reflect a recent project donation with significant industry participation.

On July 29, 2025, the Linux Foundation welcomed the AGNTCY project, an open-source infrastructure for enabling interoperability among AI agents across vendors and frameworks. The project provides components for agent discovery, identity, messaging, and observability. Originally open-sourced by Cisco's Outshift division in March 2025 (with collaboration from LangChain and Galileo), it was donated to the Linux Foundation with Cisco, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Red Hat joining as formative members, alongside more than 65 supporting companies.

Given the scope of industry involvement and independent coverage, I believe this meets the threshold for inclusion in the "Projects" section.

Proposed text:

AGNTCY — An open-source infrastructure project hosted by the Linux Foundation that enables interoperability and collaboration among AI agents across different vendors and frameworks. The project provides components for agent discovery, identity, secure messaging, and observability. Originally open-sourced by Cisco's Outshift division in March 2025, the project was donated to the Linux Foundation on July 29, 2025, with formative members including Cisco, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Red Hat, and support from more than 65 additional companies.^[1][2][3][4]
