   Linux Foundation: 1,000 projects
   Eclipse: 410 projects
   GNU: 394 packages
   The Apache Foundation: 300 projects

   Which other Open Source foundations host large amount of projects?

     • Ecosyste.ms

     @bagder That number probably came from the episode with Brian Fox from Sonatype. 700K was the number of malicious packages :)

     I like to look at the data from @ecosystems

     They are tracking 10 million open source projects, 2.7 million of those published something in the last year

     Of those 2.7 million

     About 20,000 have more than one million downloads

     Which is still a pretty wild number. And the Ecosyste.ms data doesn't have download numbers for everything, so there are generous error bars

     Thanks all. Update from yesterday:

     nlnet Foundation: 1,184 projects
     Linux Foundation: 1,000 projects
     .NET Foundation: 556 projects
     Eclipse: 410 projects
     Free Software Foundation's GNU project: 394 packages
     The Apache Foundation: 300 projects
     Drupal Association: 87 projects
     KDE and GNOME: a number of projects

     Total: ~4000 projects.

     By "foundation" I mean an umbrella organization that provides coordination, legal services, infrastructure, administration and similar services for member projects.

     I remember @joshbressers mentioning 700,000 active open source projects in their podcast.

     Out of which 4,000 or so are done under the umbrella of a foundation.

     I assume I missed a few, but we are still below 1% of all active projects being done by foundations.

     @bagder Where is that GNU number coming from? GNU’s hosting server Savannah has almost 4000 projects: http://savannah.gnu.org/search/index.php
