\n 
\ncredativ is once again a Silver Member of the Linux Foundation<\/a>. For us, this is not a symbolic gesture but a deliberate decision. For more than two decades, we have been working at the heart of open-source infrastructure \u2013 as a support center, as contributors, and as operators of critical services. Now that credativ is operating independently again, rejoining the Linux Foundation was one of our first strategic steps.<\/p>\n

Why the Linux Foundation Matters to Us<\/h2>\n

The Linux Foundation is far more than the organizational home of the Linux kernel. It brings together essential building blocks of modern IT: cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes<\/a>, container ecosystems, security frameworks, and networking stacks. Many of these projects have become critical digital infrastructure.
Without neutral governance, transparent processes, and sustainable funding, these technologies would be markedly more vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Digital Sovereignty and Resilience<\/h2>\n

Digital resilience is not accidental. It arises from stable structures, open development, and continuous maintenance. By supporting the Linux Foundation, we help ensure that essential software can be maintained reliably, updated securely, and developed independently.<\/p>\n

Digital sovereignty means retaining control over one\u2019s own data and infrastructure. Open Source is the prerequisite for that. The Linux Foundation provides the neutral space where technological progress can occur without dependence on individual vendors.<\/p>\n

Our Contribution to the Ecosystem<\/h2>\n

Open Source only works when you give something back. Our teams contribute daily \u2013 packaging, debugging, upstream fixes, reviews, and operating systems that run in production environments around the globe.<\/p>\n

Engagement in the Debian and PostgreSQL Communities<\/h2>\n

We have been active in the Debian community for many years: providing package maintenance, running essential infrastructure, and contributing to the project long-term. More information on our Debian involvement:
credativ & Debian<\/a><\/p>\n

We also contribute significantly to the PostgreSQL ecosystem through consulting, support, technical development, and tooling. In addition, we support the community by sponsoring major events such as PGConf.EU<\/a>.
More about our PostgreSQL work:
credativ PostgreSQL Competence Center<\/a><\/p>\n

Open-Source Virtualization: Proxmox & ProxLB<\/h2>\n

Virtualization is becoming increasingly central to modern IT operations. We actively support the Proxmox community and contribute to ProxLB<\/a>, an open-source load balancer for Proxmox VE<\/a>.
An overview of our virtualization services:
Proxmox Virtualization at credativ<\/a><\/p>\n

We also host the OSS Virtualisation Gathering<\/strong>, a community meetup focused on open virtualization technologies:
Meetup: OSS Virtualisation Gathering<\/a><\/p>\n

Active Presence as Speakers at Open-Source Conferences<\/h2>\n

Our involvement does not end with code. We participate as speakers across many open-source conferences \u2013 in the Debian, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and Proxmox ecosystems.
