The Linux Foundation Forms Open Source Effort To Advance IO Services (linuxfoundation.org)
The Linux Foundation is announcing FD.io ("Fido"), a Linux Foundation Project. FD.io is an open source project to provide an IO services framework for the next wave of network and storage software. Early support for FD.io comes from founding members 6WIND, Brocade, Cavium, Cisco, Comcast, Ericsson, Huawei, Inocybe Technologies, Intel Corporation, Mesophere, Metaswitch Networks (Project Calico), PLUMgrid and Red Hat.
Architected as a collection of sub-projects, FD.io provides a modular, extensible user space IO services framework that supports rapid development of high-throughput, low-latency and resource-efficient IO services. The design of FD.io is hardware, kernel, and deployment (bare metal, VM, container) agnostic.

How about a systemd alliance, might help to unite systemd supporters into a single powerful group intent on ruining the founding foundations of Unix as well as a vast chunk of the Linux user community. They can do more damage to the reputation of Linux if they work together.
