Linux Foundation Expands Fellowship Program to Support Kernel Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation, in concert with several well-known industry names
| (hint: they start with letters like I and G), has hired a key contributor to
| the Linux kernel development community, the system administrator for
| kernel.org. It’s an important position. kernel.org is crucial to the Linux
| kernel’s collaborative development environment. It is the actual physical
| space — in cyberspace — where kernel developers get their work done. Without
| it, nothing happens.

| 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.

| Analysts note that Linux vendors are traditionally present on the mobile
| device market. According to forecasts the OS might become the leader in
| the segment accounting for 40% of it by 2010. ?Currently the share of
| mobile devices with Linux OS is not big in Russia as compared to other
| countries, such as China, for instance. However, the producer's policy,
| Nokia in particular testifies to the fact the situation is changing
| for the better", Ms. Karaeva concluded.
