"The Linux Foundation is now a year old. Formed by the
2007 merger of Open Source Development Labs and the Free Standards
Group and home to Linux's creator Linus Torvalds, the Foundation
promotes the use of Linux through support for kernel development;
the development of common definitions, standards and best
practices; and resolution of legal issues. At Red Hat Summit,
SearchEnterpriseLinux.com got a chance to speak with Jim Zemlin,
the executive director of the Linux Foundation, in Boston and got
the latest on all things Linux."
"Zemlin: The Linux platform is experiencing prolific growth in
all aspects of computing, from embedded system to mobile
applications and high-performance computing [HPC]. Linux is
everywhere, from Google to Facebook, [from] cell phones to cash
registers and ATMs. It's growing faster than any other platform and
increasing its overall share of the market. Computing is becoming a
two-horse race between Linux and Microsoft, both growing at Unix's
expense."
