{{Short description|IBM Linux development department}}
The [[IBM]] '''Linux Technology Center''' ('''LTC''') is an organization focused on development for the [[Linux kernel]] and related [[open-source software]] projects. In 1999, IBM created the LTC to combine its software developers interested in Linux and other open-source software into a single organization. Much of the LTC's early effort was focused on making "all of its server platforms Linux friendly."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://linuxgazette.net/issue59/correa2.html |title=IBM: The Big Blue Support for the Linux Community LG #59 |publisher=Linuxgazette.net |access-date=2013-09-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130702193733/http://linuxgazette.net/issue59/correa2.html |archive-date=2013-07-02 }}</ref> The LTC collaborated with the Linux community to make Linux run optimally on processor architectures such as [[x86]], [[IBM mainframe|mainframe]], [[PowerPC]], and [[Power ISA]]. In recent years, the focus of the LTC has expanded to include several other open source initiatives.
