"Meta is transferring React, React Native, and JSX to a new organization: the React Foundation. This foundation will become part of the Linux Foundation. The organization's purpose is to ensure that the development of the popular JavaScript framework is no longer under the direct influence of a single company. React was developed by Facebook in 2013. It has grown to become the most widely used front-end framework for web development."
"The React Foundation will be tasked with managing React's infrastructure. This includes GitHub, CI systems, and trademarks. The foundation will also organize React Conf and provide financial support to projects within the ecosystem, for example, through grants and development programs. Seth Webster, head of React at Meta, will be the foundation's first executive director. The board of directors will oversee the use of resources and ensure that the foundation remains vendor-neutral."
"The founding members of the new foundation are Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel. According to Meta, these companies have made a significant contribution to the React ecosystem. The organization wants to further expand its membership, creating a broad-based community that supports the development of React. In addition to establishing the foundation, Meta is working on a new technical governance structure. This structure will operate independently of the React Foundation and will determine the project's technical direction."
