| Linux desktop "a big focus" of new LSB workgroup chair |
Feb. 02, 2006
Linux-Watch is reporting that the new chair of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) workgroup is none other than Debian Linux founder Ian Murdock, and that Murdock has his eye on standardizing the Linux desktop.
"As LSB workgroup chair, Murdock will lead all workgroup activities and oversee the upcoming release of LSB 3.1. LSB 3.1 adds desktop functionality to the ISO standard LSB core," writes columnist Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols. "Bringing Ian to lead technical efforts for the FSG is a significant milestone in the quest to standardize Linux ... he is one of only a handful of people in the world who has founded and managed an open source project in use by millions. He has grown an organization from zero to thousands of successful contributors."
"In summary, the focus is on making the LSB more relevant to the ISV (independent software vendor) community," he continues. "There's simply too much left unspecified in the LSB today. Desktop will be a big focus here."
