Hi everyone :wave:,

Your LFID is an essential part of the LFX platform built to add value to every aspect of open source. You want to create 1 LFID to use for a lifetime of open source resources from LF including the LFX platform.

Note:
Be sure to use or also include your personal email address to your LFID, to carry your LFID from company to company

Your LFID is a SSO login you will use to access LFX tools and other LF resources, like Events and Training & Certification, along your open source journey.

Benefits of creating an LFID:

  • Update your LFX Individual Dashboard to showcase your open source accomplishments
  • Access Linux Foundation Training & Certification

In this recipe we will go over how and where you can create your LFID, to gain access to the various resources provided by the Linux Foundation.
