Review: OpenJS Foundation officially formed

Finally, the unity is back within the JS communities.

Why is the OpenJS Foundation needed?

Directly restated from OpenJS:

"The JS Foundation and Node.js Foundation have coexisted independently for a number of years. Thanks to the interconnected nature of the JavaScript ecosystem, we’ve grown continuously closer in technical collaboration. This merger provides an opportunity to share our learnings around technical governance, combining our project hosting and collective experience running diverse and welcoming communities over a broader section of the ecosystem. In addition, it eliminates operational redundancies between the organizations, streamlines the experience for organizations who provide essential financial support through membership, and coordinates efforts within the JavaScript ecosystem and with affiliated standards bodies."

IMO

There was definitely a need for unified, formal community over the development of JS. When looking for a JS community to join, it can be a little confusing. See this:

Perhaps another reason to unify is preventing another uproar like the one that happened back in 2017 on NodeJS's diversity/inclusion.

Concern

My one concern is that I don't see Amazon or especially Facebook participating in this foundation. Considering the influence they both have in the JS ecosystem, I would hope that they will participate soon.
