Summary

GitHub has introduced TODO, a collaborative initiative with several partner organizations aimed at enhancing open-source software support within large companies. The initiative seeks participation from companies with existing open-source programs or those interested in starting one, with the goal of addressing the unique challenges associated with using and developing open-source technologies in diverse corporate environments. TODO's focus includes discussions on releasing open-source projects, transferring project ownership from companies to communities, and maintaining the health and activity of open-source projects. Founding members of TODO include prominent companies such as Box, Dropbox, Facebook, GitHub, Google, Khan Academy, Square, Stripe, Twitter, and Walmart Labs, and more information is available at todogroup.org.
