The executive compensation is pretty shocking

https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460...

pyuser583•22m ago
I’m guessing it’s below market rates. Silicon Valley and all.

I'm actually more curious on why a lot of directors receive $0, while others receive almost 1M
bombcar•8m ago
Directors sound like the Board, the others are Executive Directors (eg, they do the work).
woodruffw•15m ago
Is it? Percentage-wise, executive compensation appears to be lower than well-regarded technology nonprofits[1][2]. In some sense that's extremely weird, since LF is a trade organization rather than a public-interest nonprofit. Their financiers are huge corporations, not individual donors!

(This is the core of the bigger problem with LF, IMO -- they simply don't represent non-corporate OSS interests at all, beyond some lip service.)

it does fit the trend...

Not to belabor the point, but LF is a 501(c)(6), not a 501(c)(3). They don't behave like your intuition for a public-interest nonprofit because they aren't one. You shouldn't give them your money!

What is the 181M$ mysterious "Project Support" in the graph means? Linux is labeled separately, so it cannot be the "Project".
themafia•7m ago
That's revenue. This article isn't clear at all. Here's their actual tax filing:

https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460...

More than half the money spent on Conferences and Salaries with the rest being functional expenses. Nothing in the "grants" or "benefits to members" column. Prima facie this would not be an organization I would ever donate to.

Which is good because most of their revenue comes from fees and services rendered.

woodruffw•21m ago
Without bending over backwards to defend the Linux Foundation, I'll point out that the 97% number means very little -- the percentage that actually matters is the percentage that doesn't go towards funding open source at all. The Linux Foundation hasn't been solely about Linux for decades; they are (facially) responsible for hosting a very large number of open source projects.
