End User Council

The End User Council is a neutral forum in which corporate end users voice platform concerns, discuss best practices on Linux deployments, and identify common technical requirements, that can be shared with the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board, consisting of leaders from the Linux development community, and the Vendor Advisory Council, consisting of leading OEM, ISV, and Technical Consulting companies.

By participating in Linux Foundation events and frequently meeting with the Technical and Vendor Advisory Boards, the End User Council promotes understanding of how Linux is used and will be used in many of the world's most demanding environments.

The organized collaboration among these three constituents aggregate and streamline communication of key issues facing the platform now and in the future, strengthening Linux for all.

The End User Council is led by Mr. Vinod Kutty, Associate Director at CME Group.
