Linux Foundation welcomes agentgateway project

The Linux Foundation has incorporated the open source agentgateway project into its organization. This AI-native proxy has been built from the ground up for AI environments, unlike existing solutions that have been adapted later. The project supports important protocols such as A2A and MCP.
