## What it is
A collection of generalized IT policies from the Linux Foundation's internal IT staff, shared as checklists and best-practice documents. It is aimed at organizations and open-source projects that rely on volunteer admins to manage their infrastructure.

## Use cases
- write an IT security policy for my organization
- find best practices for managing volunteer-run infrastructure
- get a template for sysadmin policies
- create checklists for open-source project infrastructure
- adopt ready-made IT operations policies
- learn how the Linux Foundation manages its IT internally

## When to choose
- you need freely reusable, adaptable IT policy templates under Creative Commons
- you run infrastructure with volunteer or small admin teams
- you want proven policies from an experienced enterprise IT staff

## When to avoid
- you need enforceable, legally reviewed policies specific to your jurisdiction
- you want automated tooling rather than documents
- you need compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001 out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, security, developer-tools
- domain: security, documentation, self-hosted
- platform: windows, cloud, self-hosted
- tags: it-policies, sysadmin, best-practices, checklists, creative-commons, infrastructure-operations, devops, linux, macos
