I just wonder -- what the consequences of this may look like? Forwarded message: # # Linux-FT joins X/Open # # This is a *MAJOR* and long overdue step forward for Linux. # # The group developing Linux-FT have joined X/Open, the international open # systems standards organization wich manages the Single UNIX Specification # and licenses the UNIX trademark. # # "Independant Software Vendors are often nervous about porting their # products to Linux due to the perceived lack of standardisation and # concerns about support and stability. X/Open membership demonstrates a # commitment to Conformance, Standards and Stability which has been # unachievable in the past and is a significant step towards proving # that Linux is a viable and stable platform. # # With Linux-FT's proven commitment to Commercial Quality, Standards # and Conformance, X/Open membership is a logical step forward in # this definitive products growth and provides the Commercial # and Free communities with a solid platform on which to base their # products." # # says Lynda Nurden of Lasermoon Ltd. # # # "Having a part of the Free Software community as an X/Open ISV # Council member is an important step towards the worldwide acceptance # of UNIX systems standards. # # We welcome this development and wish this new Member every sucess." # # says Graham Bird of X/Open. # # # If you want further information about these developments and the Linux # products involved, please check the WWW pages or send us an email. # # Contacts : # # X/Open; # # WWW http://www.xopen.org # # Graham Bird, Director of Branding # Email : g.bird@xopen.org Tel : +44 (0)1734 508311 Xt 2251 # # Jeff Hansen, VP Marketing # j.hansen@xopen.org USA (415) 323-7992 # # # Linux-FT ; # # Europe # ------ # Lasermoon Ltd, # The Forge, Fareham Road, # Wickham, Hants, # England.
