The Linux Foundation has become a major platform.

Do you want to know the truth about the Linux foundation system? Do you want to know what is inherent in the Linux foundation system, I will only give you a full explanation of the concept of the mobile Linux foundation system Android, while the iPhone will turn the idea into a profit. The entire world is ready to welcome the mobile Linux Foundation.

Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, stressed at a meeting this week that the Linux Foundation will have a significant impact on the mobile computing field.

At the Open-Source Conference o'reilly Open Source Conference (OSCON) held in Portland, Oregon, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, promoted the Linux Foundation, it also said that the Linux Foundation has assumed a leading position in mobile systems.

Next to Jason Grigsby, Senior Network strategist at Cloud Four, a mobile and Web design company, Grigsby stressed that the huge impact of mobile Web is coming soon, but contrary to Zemlin's view, he believes that developers are not ready for this.

Zemlin said that the Linux Foundation has become a major platform, even on the desktop. At the same time, it has also extended to other equipment, such as natural gas pumps and medical equipment. In addition, Wall Street's trading systems, consumer electronic products, and space base devices on Mars are also deployed with the Linux foundation system.

"Obviously, the Linux Foundation will become a leader in the mobile field," Zemlin said. Zemlin said that the Linux Foundation provides a standardized product platform and software stack with high flexibility. It also goes through this phase of increasing the number of software content. Every year, mobile code developed with Liunx is doubled.

"The mobile industry is experiencing a huge change and you will see a brand new software design approach, rather than constantly adding hardware." using the software development experience, we will promote the development of the mobile market, zemlin said. Supporting the Linux foundation platform does not enable developers to deal with compatibility issues caused by the need to support different platforms. The entire mobile industry is trying to get rid of this thorny problem.

"It is a nightmare to support all these different operating systems and try to maintain a certain degree of compatibility," Zemlin said. The Linux foundation now has different middleware suites and application development frameworks to provide technical support. "The degree of freedom for integrating the core Linux Foundation kernel is very high," Zemlin said.

The commercial drivers of the Linux foundation include the reduction of deployment costs and the ecosystem built around the mobile platform. "The Linux foundation is clearly a royalty-free platform, which is a huge commercial driver," Zemlin said. Zemlin also said: "The Linux foundation can truly allow device manufacturers and startups to create their own brands ,".

Symbian's initiative to enter the open-source field has a huge impact on the Windows Mobile platform, making Microsoft's Mobile platform the only Mobile platform that requires special fees. Zemlin added. Everyone is doing this with the development of some projects.

The application development of the mobile Linux Foundation has gradually transitioned from the conceptual phase to the entity, such as Google's Android platform and the LimoLinux Foundation mobile Foundation), Zemlin said. Other research and development achievements of the Mobile Linux foundation are also underway, such as Openmmoko and Ubuntu Mobile, which are designed to create a smartphone platform.

"From the company's perspective, almost all major software companies are involved in the Linux Foundation camp in some way, except Microsoft ." Zemlin said. There are also some developers who are working on developing Linux-based mobile devices, such as customized systems. "Next year, you will see at least 50 companies launch such products," Zemlin said.

At the same time, Grigsby stressed that the mobile Internet era is approaching, but Web developers are not ready yet. Currently, there are a total of 3.3 billion mobile devices on the earth. "This is more than computers, cars, televisions, and credit cards," Grigsby said.

Grigsby praised Apple's iPhone for its contribution to mobile computing from its functions. "IPhone is the first WEB browser on the Internet that Mosaic has appeared in the mobile network field)." just like the Mosaic browser, iPhone is a huge potential business opportunity in the mobile field.

However, one of the problems that currently plague mobile networks is the characteristics of the user interface and the mobile phone that is being accessed. Standards and performance are also a problem. Grigsby predicts that more cracks and proprietary extensions will occur on mobile devices, and the mobile browser war will also pop up. Many mobile browsers are designed around the WAP Wireless Application Protocol, rather than using the complete desktop rendering technology, such as JavaScript.

Grigsby said that Web developers have become broadband dependent who have been "Spoiled" by high-speed broadband connections, and such bandwidth does not exist on mobile devices. Other achievements at the OSCON Conference include:

◆ Microsoft plans to discuss the specific plan for the forthcoming IronRuby 1.0 later this week. IronRuby 1.0 is one of the Ruby programming languages and is compatible with. NET software development platforms.

◆ A spokesman for Canonical said they will introduce version 2.0 of the Launchpad hosting platform for software development projects. Launchpad 2.0 includes a beta version of the Internet Service API, allowing external applications to verify, query, and modify data stored in the Launchpad database programmatically. The Canonical-sponsored Bazaar distributed version control system has significantly enhanced the ability to process large code Libraries After Launchpad is introduced.

◆ The open-source collaboration platform Icecore is changing its technical name to Kablink and adds the workflow function. Name changes are inspired by the increase in workflows. Another purpose is to avoid confusion with the first generation of technology.
