The 2008 Linux and free software timeline
,----[ Quote ]
| As always, 2008 proved to be an interesting year, with great progress in
| useful software that made our systems better. Of course, there were some of
| the usual conflicts—patent woes, project politics, and arguments over freedom
| —but overall, the pace of free software progress stayed on its upwardly
| increasing trend. 2008 was a year that saw the end of SCO—or not—the rise of
| Linux-based "netbooks", multiple excellent distribution releases, more phones
| and embedded devices based on Linux, as well as major releases of software we
| will be using for years (X.org, Python, KDE, ...). We look forward to seeing
| what 2009—and beyond!—will bring.
