'..watching companies evolve from traditional, closed source development organizations into full-fledged open source contributors.'

<blockquote>'One of the great things about being The Linux Foundation is that we get to work with the foremost open source contributors in the world on a regular basis. What's just as exciting, though, is watching companies evolve from traditional, closed source development organizations into full-fledged open source contributors. This is happening every day, and the pace is astounding.'

'..a fully free system from the chipset up.'

<blockquote>'Coming to you live from Prague, Torvalds released Linux 3.1 while attending the the Linux Kernel Summit. This release has support for OpenRISC, support for Near-Field Communication (NFC), and a new project called cpupowerutils.

The OpenRISC processor, as the name suggests, is a GPL'ed RISC architecture. It's considered stable, and as the wiki says, has been implemented in some commercial ASCIs and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). You probably won't be seeing the OpenRISC chip in any systems at Best Buy, but it's a step forward for folks who want a fully free system from the chipset up.'
