After a quick look around their site I came across their mission statement : "OSDL provides Open Source developers with the computing resources needed to build data center and telco class enhancements into Linux and its Open Source software stack, enabling Linux to become the leading Operating System for e-Business development and deployment." I wrote them explaining that their name was misleading if this was their only goal. The reasoning was that there are more Open Source projects out there, not to mention os's, than Linux. So either their name should be changed to "Linux Development Labs" or their mission statement should be redone. I haven't heard anything back yet. -Joseph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
