The Node.js Foundation's mission is to enable widespread adoption and help accelerate development of Node.js and other related modules. Our open governance model encourages participation, technical contribution, and a framework for long-term stewardship by an ecosystem invested in Node.js' success. The Foundation enables Node.js developers to participate in large-scale collaboration under agreed upon terms that no one company, person or entity can change or dictate. Node.js Foundation is a Collaborative Project at The Linux Foundation. Node.js is the fastest growing open source platform in the world used by 5 million developers. It is used for everything from web front and back end development to creating mobile, tablet, and desktop apps. It's also being used with a whole new set of API services and even more complicated IoT devices.
