| Portland Project to meet again in June |
Apr. 10, 2007
The Linux desktop architects behind the Portland Project, which seeks to bring rhyme and reason to the Linux desktop (among other benefits), will be meeting again June 15-16 at the Googleplex in Mountain View, Calif.
This invitation-only meeting of Linux's top desktop developers will be piggy-backing on the Linux Foundation Collaboration summit. The first ever Linux Foundation Collaboration is being sponsored by the newly formed Linux Foundation.
The gathering aims to bring together the brightest minds in the Linux ecosystem to discuss where Linux is, where it needs to go, and everyone can work together to help get it there. It will be combining LF (Linux Foundation) workgroup meetings, LSB (Linux Standard Base) face-to-face meetings, and various advisory councils (users, vendors, developers) to create what John Cherry, LF co-coordinator for desktop Linux, called "one uber-conference."
On the desktop side, developers will be dealing with a variety of issues, including such topics as drivers, WiFi, desktop virtualization, and printing. The invitation list is a who's who of desktop Linux among vendors, community Linux organizations, KDE, GNOME, and ISVs (independent software vendors).
The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit will be open to LF members and to key senior participants in the Linux ecosystem. Those wishing to participate are asked to send an email to request being considered for an invitation to this event, or to ask other questions. Participation is limited, in order to keep collaboration manageable, the LF says.
