Samsung invests $500,000 to join Linux Alliance

Samsung is stepping up its plans to move beyond Apple's iOS system, a South Korean company that has joined the Linux Alliance and enjoys the highest tier platinum membership in the league, This gives Samsung a place on the Linux Alliance board. Linux is the foundation for Google's Android operating system, but the Linux alliance has been creating another mobile operating system called Tizen, and no one has given Tizen too much attention, and it seems that people around the world are happy with iOS and Android, even if Windows Phone can not break the situation.                      Samsung is a strong supporter of Tizen, This is an attempt to shake the situation, Samsung wants to have more control, so that Tizen can really replace the Android system, more importantly, the replacement of Apple's iOS, as the media reported, Android seems to have lost in the platform war with Apple, And Samsung is not content to be indifferent to let such a thing happen, Samsung has its own backup plan.                          The         linux Alliance has dug more than 8,000 companies and more than 8,000 developers, many of whom are crazy about Linux and open source, This is a huge base for developers to help create another mobile operating system and its corresponding applications. Members are required to donate $500,000 a year to the Linux Alliance to become Platinum members, and currently only 6 companies in Samsung are platinum members of the Linux Alliance, the 6 companies are IBM, Oracle, Intel, Fujitsu, NEC and Qualcomm Innovation Centers (QUALCOMM) Innovation Center), even Red Hat, the world's largest Linux developer, does not have a seat on the Alliance board.        This address: http://www.linuxprobe.com/samsung-join-linux-alliance.html
