“‘Membership in The Linux Foundation will accelerate our
collaboration with the organizations and individuals instrumental
in shaping the future of Linux, enabling a great experience for
users and developers of Linux,” said Scott Pritchett, Nvidia’s vice
president of Linux platform software, in the announcement earlier
this month.

“Yes, you heard that right. For those who missed it, Nvidia —
longstanding author of numerous headaches for Linux users around
the world — has now joined The Linux Foundation.

“No word yet on whether that means open drivers are on the way,
of course. Either way, though, it can’t be anything other than good
news, and bloggers on Slashdot and beyond have lost no time before
speculating as to what it could mean down the road.”
