>The founding members include a number of high-powered media and tech companies, including Animal Logic, Blue Sky Studios, Cisco, DreamWorks, Epic Games, Google, Intel, SideFX, Walt Disney Studios and Weta Digital.

Having worked for one of these companies I'm a bit surprised to see ILM's absence from the list. We were pretty big users of their OpenEXR image format.

One very small irony is the Linux Foundation (my employer) is based in LDAC, and shares facilities with ILM/Lucas. It's been fun watching the run up to this new foundation becoming public. Had to pick a new acronym due too namespace collision ;)

ILM would be included under Disney.

ILM is involved, as is Pixar. Just a guess ~ the press release may have been edited for brevity (like this comment).
