The OpenJS Foundation is the open and neutral home for JavaScript and web technologies worldwide, supporting the people behind critical projects with a neutral home, open and transparent governance, shared infrastructure, and collaboration. As a neutral non-profit organization, its goal is to provide a home where projects can build and support a sustainable community of diverse contributors. Founding members included Google, Microsoft, IBM, PayPal, GoDaddy, and Joyent.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The foundation hosts 38 widely-used open source JavaScript projects, creating critical infrastructure for the global JavaScript ecosystem. OpenJS is an independent organization hosted at the Linux Foundation, providing institutional stability. However, as a non-profit steward model without direct revenue generation or commercial products, it lacks traditional growth metrics.
