Mission Accomplished: Do We Need the New OSDL?
,----[ Quote ]
| The OSDL's initial mandate -- "To accelerate the deployment of

| of creating something new but rather reacting to what currently
| amounts to legal boogeymen.

In a previous statement it was said that the move was motivated by
"Unprecedented market validation" (for Linux). OSDL is not a company per se,
so you can't talk of staff cuts. OSDL is more of a panel serving a purpose.
Evidently, Linux is accepted in the enterprise. Most of OSDL no longer
serves a purpose because /industry/ will accelerate Linux, /without/ funded
intervention. The tipping point is /well/ behind us.
