"For most of the last year, Rex was the CTO of the Linux Foundation, on loan from his employer Novell. Now, he's back with Novell, where he is responsible for Novell's open source and open platform technologies, including SUSE Linux Enterprise. Rex has been working at SUSE Linux since 1999.

"Rex has particular insight into the inner workings of the Linux Foundation, a group that was formed two years ago as a result of the merger between the OSDL (Open Source Development Labs) and the Free Standards Group.

"The Linux Foundation holds a position of particular importance in the Linux ecosystem with a goal of trying to provide standards, like the recently updated Linux Standards Base 4.0 that are intended to promote application availability on Linux."
