Facebook head of open-source projects James Pearce provided more details about TODO in a post on the social network’s engineering blog:

Today at @Scale 2014 we joined a number of other companies in launching a new open-source collaboration called TODO. The group — whose name is a backronym for “talk openly, develop openly” — was formed to address the challenges that companies like ours have encountered in consuming open-source software and running open-source programs.

We’ll have more to share about our plans in the coming weeks, but our overall goal in this collaboration is to make open-source easier for everyone.
