Ubuntu Foundation
Founder(s) Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical Ltd.[1]
Founded July 1, 2005 (2005-07-01)[1]
Key people Mark Shuttleworth, Benjamin Mako Hill,[2] Colin Watson, James Troup[1]

The Ubuntu Foundation is a purpose trust founded by South African Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical Ltd. to ensure the long-term maintenance of the Ubuntu Linux distribution independently of the commercial activities of Canonical Ltd. Its initial funding commitment is $10M.[1][3]

Its current advisory board is made up of chairman Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical Ltd., and representatives of the Ubuntu Community Council and the Ubuntu Technical Board.[1][3]

Although it was originally announced that the Ubuntu Foundation would employ core members of the Ubuntu community[3] as of 2008, the Foundation remains dormant. Mark Shuttleworth describes it as an "emergency fund" in the event that Canonical's involvement in the Ubuntu project ends.
