linux mark platform shuttleworth argues future
During a keynote presentation at the OSCON open source convention in Portland, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth described his strategy for accelerating the adoption of Linux. He discussed the importance of extensibility in open platforms, contemplated the challenges of adapting conventional software methodologies so that they can be used for community-driven development, and contended that the open source software community has the potential to deliver a user experience which exceeds that of Apple's Mac OS X platform.

darthcamaro writes "Everyone asks who runs Linux — to which the normal answer is either Linus Torvalds or 'the community.' But (as Master Yoda once said) — There is another. His name is Jim Zemlin and he is the Executive Director of The Linux Foundation." From the interview linked above: "'I want to be a thousand percent confident that this organization will be around for the next 30 to 50 years because Linux isn't going away,' Zemlin said. 'It's everywhere, and there is no doubt that Linux will be an important platform in the future and we're only at the beginning on the embedded and mobile side. It will be my screwup if we don't have an organization that can help coordinate and grow the development of the Linux platform.'"

twljagflba writes "Since last year AMD has made ATI increasingly Linux friendly by releasing 3D programming guides and helping out the open-source community. At the same time they have been continuing to develop their binary Catalyst driver for the Linux platform and most recently they delivered same-day support for their new graphics cards. Today though they have released the Catalyst 8.8 Linux driver that adds two very important features: CrossFire and OverDrive support for Linux. Linux users are now able to use CrossFire to split the rendering workload between multiple GPUs and they're also able to overclock their graphics cards now using the binary-only driver. Phoronix has a complete run-down on both features — including benchmarks — in their AMD OverDrive on Linux and ATI Radeon CrossFire On Linux articles.

There's no dearth of Linux distributions for desktop users or even for running high availability servers. But if you are a do-it-yourself computer user, your choice of Linux distros is fairly limited. You can build Linux from scratch with Linux from Scratch or compile your own set of packages with Gentoo. But if you want a distro that teaches you the basics of Linux as you set it up; is well documented, lightweight, and zippy; and has a dependency-resolving packaging system, you need Arch Linux.

As the use of Linux continues to grow, so do subscription contracts for leading commercial vendors such as Red Hat and Novell. However, the use of freely available community Linux distributions is also growing, giving enterprise Linux users more choices. This report considers the role and impact that community Linux distributions such as CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu have on commercial vendors. It also considers the general trend toward more options when it comes to using and supporting enterprise Linux. What do these freely distributed, community-developed Linux distros and additional commercial options mean for the enterprise Linux market?

"Things have gone better than I would have expected," Zemlin told InternetNews.com. "We're in the business of growing the Linux platform and making sure the development process of Linux is maintained in a way that is productive and safe." The Linux Foundation also has the task of making sure that key developers of Linux such as Linus Torvalds have a neutral place to work. Torvalds is employed by the Linux Foundation. "One of the things that make Linux work as a development project is the fact that Linus [Torvalds], who is the final decision maker on the release of the kernel, works at a place that is not one of the competitors that collaborates on the project," Zemlin commented.

"We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness, stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux community. Vendors that provide closed-source kernel modules force their customers to give up key Linux advantages or choose new vendors. Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost savings and shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors to adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source kernel code.

During the Open Mobile Exchange at the OSCON event in Portland, ACCESS open source director David Schlesinger described the architecture of the Linux-based LiMo mobile platform. The platform is being developed through a collaborative effort coordinated by the LiMo Foundation, a coalition of approximately 50 mobile industry heavyweights. They aim to build a complete middleware layer on top of the Linux kernel using the GNOME Mobile stack and other conventional desktop Linux components. The strong emphasis on using standard APIs and programming practices means that there won't be much of a learning curve.
