FSG (Free Standard Group) is a non-profit organization that has been developed and promoted application open source software standards. The organization announced three new members during the LinuxWorld Seminar and Exhibition, and signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the China Electronic Technology Standardization Institute (CESI) to carry out the Linux release of the LSB (Linux Standard Base) certification. This statement further confirms the driving force for LSB's continuous growth, and FSG in preventing the Differentiation direction of Linux. China Electronic Technology Standardization Research Institute (CESI) and FSG signed an agreement, indicating that the LSB standard will be supported. The other two members announced today are the Wisconsin and the Gelato Federation (Glato Federation), and Gelato is a global research group that focuses on real-time computing issues through open source collaboration to enhance Linux Itanium platform. In addition, the IBM media announced the first book that will be published, the first book based on LSB 2.0 application software, the title is "using LSB creation application" (ISBN 0-13-145695-4) ("Building Applications with the Linux Standard Base) "), The book is written by the core member of the LSB team and will be published in November 2004. The importance of the LSB is responsible for developing and maintenance by FSG. The LSB standard proposes a solution for the most difficult differentiation problems facing today, and most of the industry has made efforts to prevent this differentiation. support. At the same time, the LSB standard has been supported by the main members of the Linux community, including IBM, Hewlett-Packard, AMD, Dell, Intel, CONECTIVA, MANDRAKESoft, Red Hat, Sun, Novell's Suse Linux, and Turbolinux. FSG has developed an LSB standard while there is also a number of tools and simplifying a Linux version created. Contrast Windows, in order to ensure that Linux's long-term market competitive advantage, a sufficiently supported binary standard is very necessary, lack of standard, which will become very expensive for a variety of Linux development applications. The Linux distribution that meets the LSB is interoperable for the LSB-based application. With the simplicity of ISV application software development and transplantation and ensuring end users' needs, from long-standing considerations, Linux is not ejacited from priority Linux distribution, which is necessary. More importantly, support for LSB standards ensures that Linux will not disappear and will continue to grow the fastest growing operating system in the industry. The LSB specification includes a set of basic APIs, databases, and interoperability, including test series, development environment, sample implementation, and developer documents. China has become an FSG member, China Electronic Technology Standardization Research Institute (CESI), has become an FSG member, marking LSB's milestones in global recognition, in addition to the LINUX release version of LSB certification, Cesi will gradually transform the FSG website content and other information It is Chinese. "In China Electronic Technology Standardization Research Institute, we realized the importance of Linux standardization," Dr. Cesi Gaolin said, "We will work closely with FSG to carry out Linux distribution certification, and further refine Linux standards and standard internationalization .
Two organizations have achieved common goals for promoting open source standards through close cooperation. "" "FSG gathers all the information and forms a binary Linux standard." Mr. Jim Zemlin, president of FSG, "said" FSG received the support of the main manufacturer of Linux community, LSB specification received the publisher and ISV adoption, new Member The addition allows us to see the demand for the end users on the world. One of our important goals is to prevent Linux differentiation, and now we have achieved new driving force and support for this goal. "We are very happy to join the FSG," said Mr. Mark Z Smith, president of the Gelato Federation, "We believe that FSG and LS B standards are the best way to prevent Linux differentiation, we have a common goal: that is, promoting Linux Software, and keep it open to individuals. By becoming an FSG member, Glato's member will cooperate on a common Linux standard while continuing our efforts to enhance the Linux Itanium platform function. "Currently FSG pays attention to the following two key projects: LSB specifications and open source internationalization proposals (Openi18N), Linux language internationally global norms. In recent months, FSG gets more support and more activities. Including adding new members, preparing for LSB 2.0, publishes new books on the LSB specification, and new presidents and more market development activities. About FSG FSG is an independent, non-profit organization, through development And promotion standards, is committed to accelerating free and open source software applications and acceptance. The key FSG projects include LSB, Openi18N, Lanana, and a new accessible working group. With the support of IT industry leaders and open source development communities, The FSG is completed and met on the Linux platform, the key needs of the joint operation specification, tools, and APIs.
