Arch Linux is entering into a direct collaboration with Valve. Valve is generously providing backing for two critical projects that will have a huge impact on the distribution: a build service infrastructure and a secure signing enclave. By supporting work on a freelance basis for these topics, Valve enables them to work on them without being limited solely by the free time of our volunteers.

I personally buy games almost exclusively on Steam after realizing how much Valve pumps money into open source/Linux gaming, and this is yet another thing on the list. Cool stuff!

No other gaming company seems to do as much for open source as Valve. Microsoft finances its closed source XBox platform, Sony does the same with Playstation. Epic? Nope.
