Sponsor the Inclusive Naming Initiative

Support the Inclusive Naming Initiative’s mission to promote and facilitate replacing harmful and exclusionary language in information technology. All sponsors of the initiative are also corporate members of the Linux Foundation, and belong to a group called the Sponsors Forum, who are empowered to create proposals for submissions to the Steering committee. The steering committee plans and tracks goals in all of the initiative’s workstreams.

Each Sponsor can appoint a number of representatives to the Sponsors Forum, depending on the Sponsorship level. The number of representatives also equals the voting power of the sponsor on the Sponsors Forum.
