The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and the Free Standards Group (FSG), have merged to form the Linux Foundation, announcing that they will provide a comprehensive set of services to compete effectively with closed platforms, which primarily means Microsoft Windows.

Founding platinum members of the Linux Foundation include Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Intel, NEC, Novell, and Oracle. Jim Zemlin, former executive director of the Free Standards Group, leads The Linux Foundation. Other members of the new organization include every major company in the Linux industry, including Red Hat, as well as community groups, universities and industry end users.

I believe this was long due. Linux has been there for sometime now but I would have definitely wanted it to grow much faster and have some stake with end users but that has not happened. I hope this will give that vision some focus and help linux grow faster and stronger.
