Reasons for the Linux Plumbers Conference

,----[ Quote ]
| The scope of Linux Plumbers Conference goes a bit beyond the Linux kernel; it 
| spills out to include interfaces with the X Window System and some other 
| userspace features.

Linux "plumbers" convene

,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) has issued a call for proposals for its 
| September 17-19 event in Portland, Oregon. The LPC aims to attract top 
| developers to collaborate on Linux "plumbing" issues such as kernel 
| subsystems, core libraries, and windowing systems.

IBM seems to be all about the kernel and surroundings these days, but hardly
about Free software. Some people notice:

Come On, IBM, Pull Your Socks Up

,----[ Quote ]
| So, for the sake of your shareholders and of the stakeholders in the open 
| source ecosystem, I say: come on, IBM, pull your socks up and get stuck in 
| again. Please go back to leading in this field, as you did a decade ago, 
| rather than lagging as you seem to be today.

Linux kernel developers have tripled in number

,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation (LF) has published a study on Linux mainline kernel 
| development. According to LF, the number of Linux kernel developers has 
| tripled since 2005, with many more companies contributing to the process 
| (including, potentially, the latest new LF member, Adobe).

Linux Market to Triple by 2012

,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based 
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more 
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.  
| 
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much 
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and 
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market 
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the 
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients 
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.
