The Linux Foundation is taking its efforts to foster new levels of open-source collaboration to new heights today with launch of the Dronecode Project (https://www.dronecode.org/). Dronecode is an effort to help build an open platform for software that enables non-military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as drones.

The Dronecode Project is know part of the Linux Foundation Collaboration Projects initiative which brings people, process and technology best practices to open-source code development. The Dronecode project will join other Linux Foundation Collaboration project including the Yocto project (https://www.yoctoproject.org/) which is an effort to build embedded Linux platforms.
