The move is designed to formalize the governance of the popular JavaScript library and give a larger role to the community and companies that have contributed to its development.<\/p>\n<p>The React Foundation will operate as part of the Linux Foundation, providing a vendor-neutral environment for the project\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<h2>New governance structure<\/h2>\n<p>The foundation\u2019s governing board will include representatives from Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel, with plans to expand its membership over time.<\/p>\n<p>A key aspect of the new structure is a clear separation between the foundation\u2019s business governance and the project\u2019s technical direction. The React Foundation will be responsible for maintaining React\u2019s infrastructure, organizing events like React Conf, and creating initiatives to support the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The technical governance\u2014including decisions about releases, features, and the project\u2019s direction\u2014will be managed by a new, separate structure driven by the maintainers and contributors of React. This technical body will be independent of the React Foundation. Details about the new technical governance structure are expected to be shared in a future announcement.<\/p>\n<h2>Meta\u2019s continued commitment<\/h2>\n<p>Meta, which open-sourced React over a decade ago, has committed to a five-year partnership with the new foundation. This commitment includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over $3 million in funding.<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated engineering support to ensure a smooth transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meta will continue to invest in React, use it as its primary tool for building user interfaces, and maintain a dedicated team of full-time engineers working on both React and React Native.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the React Foundation is intended to unlock new opportunities for collaboration and growth within the ecosystem. With broader industry participation and a more formalized governance model, the project is positioned to address the next generation of challenges in UI development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured image credit<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The open-source projects React and React Native, along with supporting projects like JSX, are transitioning to a new, independent organization called the React Foundation.
