OSDL reaches out to Linux coders

I too believe that it is critical for the kernel developers to maintain as strong a of a support based as possible. As to whether or not the OSDL is the best fit however; well, that remains to be seen.

The Open Source Development Labs, an organisation devoted to improving Linux, has launched a technical advisory board to try to foster better relations with programmers, who at times have been frustrated by the industry-funded group.

OSDL employs Linux founder Linus Torvalds and a close ally, Andrew Morton. But it was founded by computing industry powers such as Intel and HP, and the group wants stronger relations with Linux programmers.

“We look to this new board to better help guide us in dedicating resources and people towards the most important issues and technical requirements facing the development community,” the OSDL’s chief executive, Stuart Cohen, said in a statement. Source: ZDNet
