Nokia's plan to open source the Symbian mobile OS platform is no threat to mobile Linux, maintains the executive director of the Linux Foundation. Jim Zemlin maintains that mobile Linux will continue to evolve and flourish in spite of Nokia's plans and the formation of the Symbian Foundation, whose membership includes several members of LiMO including Motorola, NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, and Vodaphone. "Now that Symbian will be open and royalty free one of the advantages that Linux had over that platform is gone," acknowledged Zemlin, in a blog written last week after the deal was announced. "However, there continue to be some fundamental disadvantages relative to Linux that Symbian must deal with. " Symbian's large installed base is a plus... ...

After a long search, the Linux Foundation has found its community manager for its LSB Developer Network . The Linux Foundation has tapped Brian Proffitt , longtime managing editor of Linux Today , Enterprise Linux Today, AllLinuxDevices, LinuxPR, and JustLinux. OStatic: For readers who aren't familiar with Linux Today, could you give a bit of background on the site and yourself? Brian Proffitt: Wait, who's not familiar with Linux Today? Are you kidding me? Have you been talking to those people at SourceForge again? Boy, what characters... Linux Today is a news and information aggregate site that runs a 24/7 news feed of links to stories about Linux, free, and open source software. In addition to LT, I am also the managing editor of LinuxPlanet, Enterprise Linux Today, AllLinuxDevices, LinuxPR, and JustLinux. So, I have depth. And no social life at all. OStatic: What will your duties be with the Linux Foundation? Brian Proffitt: My title is Community Manager of the Linux Developer Network, and my primary responsibility will be to direct that site to manage its content and overall direction. To do that, I'll be writing some content, figuring out what the overall content will be, and talking to Foundation members, outside vendors, and individual developers to see what kind of documentation and support they need to write apps for Linux. Then making sure they get it. OStatic: What is the Linux Foundation trying to achieve with LDN? Br ...

I’m very pleased to welcome Brian Proffitt to the Linux Foundation. Brian will be serving as the community manager and editor for the Linux Developer Network. We’re extremely lucky to lure Brian away from Jupiter Media, where he built a thriving community and reported on Linux for such publications as Linux Today and Linux Planet. Adding a community manager for the Linux Developer Network is an important move for us. The LDN, while not launched yet, we hope will become a central place for the community to collaborate. As Brian mentions in this excellent article in OSstatic, the LDN will be the public-facing manifestation of all things LSB, meaning it will assist developers in writing portable applications for Linux. But that’s certainly not all it will be. We want to make it easier for application developers to target Linux in general. We have designed the LDN to hopefully provide a central place for collaboration and problem solving across the application development community. We also hope that other Linux loving folks may join the conversation on the site. This could evolve to include driver development, embedded, mobile, Cloud computing, general Linux documentation and so on. It’s a community site, and just like Linux, its direction will be set by those who use and participate in it. As you can see from Brian’s response on OSstatic he holds a passion and vision for LDN: How many thousands of developers work with free and open sourc ...
