The New Linux Developer Network
,----[ Quote ]
| We’ve hired a new guy to run the LDN, Brian Proffitt. He’s been hard at work
| since the moment he started, asking lots of questions and building a new
| infrastructure in an amazing amount of time. And now, you can see the
| results of his initial work.

Ubuntu Kernel Next
,----[ Quote ]
| Normally in Ubuntu's development cycle, we don't begin work on the kernel for
| a release until that release opens for development.
|
| We are starting something new this time around. Now that 2.6.26 is released,
| and the kernel in Intrepid/8.10 (our current development cycle) is pretty
| stable, we have opened up a new git tree called ubuntu-next. Do not confuse
| this with linux-next, they are different concepts.

Yesterday:
Linux is a platform, not an OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft, a staunch opponent of Linux, already understands this very
| vividly. They no longer see Windows as just an "operating system", but as
| an entire platform. They realize that the only way Windows has a prayer of
| surviving, especially in today's open source world, is if everything runs on
| Windows, including every FOSS program out there. They've even admitted that
| as much themselves, saying that they think that all open source should run on
| Windows.
|
| And Apple is no different, nor Sun, nor IBM. They see their respective
| operating systems as platforms, not OS's. Sure, IBM supports Linux, but they
| also support IBM Unix, and in both cases they see their respective operating
| systems as platforms onto which they place lots of other software. So
| ultimately one of the biggest failings of Linux marketing is that people are
| working too hard to sell the operating system side of it, but failing to sell
| the platform aspects of it.
