Google is moving up from its Silver membership in The Linux
Foundation, to the Platinum level. With this jump in status, Google
gets a seat on the Foundation's board of directors. This position will
be filled by Sarah Novotny, the head of open source strategy for
Google Cloud Platform.

Earlier this week, Chinese tech giant Tencent joined the Linux
Foundation as a platinum member.'
