The Linux Foundation proposes a new plan for Linux

At an industry conference on adjusting mobile Linux, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, emphasized the advantages and potential advantages of the Linux platform. At the Linux foundation Cooperation Summit held in San Francisco, Zemlin introduced Linux's advantages in multiple fields, including supercomputer and embedded systems. "Linux is a fast-growing platform in all aspects of data processing," he said. Compared with any other platform today, Linux has grown by two to three times faster ."

Zemlin also stressed the potential advantages of Linux on the desktop. The desktop covers almost all the things from laptops to mobile phones, from browsers to cars, all of which are helpful to Linux. "This year will be the year of Linux desktop," he said. Now we should start to ask what our desktop is. Linux will completely redefine the client. In this regard, competitors such as Microsoft Windows cannot. "

Zemlin pointed out that cloud computing also provides an opportunity for Linux, and in this field, Linux has achieved a leading advantage. He said that Google will not become a real Google if Google replaces Linux with Windows. Zemlin also stressed the security of Linux. Now the platform has been proven to be secure, and the transaction system for large amounts of money, such as the Chicago Stock Exchange, uses Linux.

Zemlin also said that the use of Linux is very low. "Although Linux is the cheapest platform, its advantages are not only reflected in the price," he said. It can also be used for software development and sharing. Linux is trying to reverse people's ideas ."

Now Linux still needs some standards, which is why Linux Standard Base (LSB) is used. Zemlin said the standards must be open and should be prevented from actually locking. Institutions and projects such as the Linux guardian will help Linux users who are facing patent problems.

Moblin 2 mobile Linux plan

Imad Sousou, director of Intel open-source technology center, evaluated the Moblin project, a Linux mobile platform promoted by Intel, and proposed a subsequent improvement project Moblin 2. Moblin 2 is currently in the testing stage.

Intel handed over Moblin to the Linux Foundation last week. In this regard, Sousou said: "The involvement of large companies is not conducive to the development of open-source projects, at least in the long run ."

Sousou said that the user experience will dominate Moblin. Not planning to copy the Linux system is what drives the project. Moblin 2 features "Quick Start ". Currently, the startup time of the system is five seconds, but their goal is to compress the start time to two seconds. In terms of user interface R & D, Moblin R & D personnel like a lively framework. To achieve this goal, developers chose Clutter Technology. Sousou said: "This may be the most dynamic framework I have seen in all operating systems ."

The Moblin 2 plan also includes a connection manager named Conman that supports voice and Wi-Fi.

Next-generation Linux kernel plan

Technical experts also attended a conference on Linux Kernel on Thursday morning and proposed a development plan named Linux Next. "Linux Next is a preview of the release of the new Linux kernel," Andrew Morton, the Linux kernel maintainer, said in an interview. This plan has been running for one year and is updated every day ."

Ted Ts o, Chief Technology Officer of the Linux Foundation, said that the ext4 file system has upgraded the default Linux File System, while Version 4 is a higher-Performance File System with user-required databases. "In general, it allows larger file systems and higher performance," he said ." Ted Ts 'o hopes that ext4 will be used in Ubuntu and Fedora Linux systems in the next month.
