,----[ Quote ]
| Now some 20 months after the Linux Foundation was created, Zemlin is claiming
| the group is succeeding and argues that it will remain relevant for the next
| 50 years. The Linux Foundation's goal is to promote and develop the Linux
| platform as it ramps up against Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Unix and embedded
| OS vendors.

Linux v2.6.27-rc4
,----[ Quote ]
| This time the diffstat is almost totally dominated by the addition of the
| musb driver that drives the MUSB and TUSB controllers integrated into
| omap2430 and davinci. That, together with the removal of the auerswald USB
| driver (replaced by libusb version) is more than half of the bulk of the
| patch, and obviously most users won't ever notice.

| Viro has contributed 1,571 changes to the kernel, which sits at the core of
