Two Linux mobile groups merge to pool efforts
In a move aimed at consolidating their efforts to support Linux use on mobile phones, the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum is merging into the LiMo (Linux Mobile) Foundation.
The two groups — consortiums of suppliers of components such as chip sets, Linux operating systems, mobile application stacks and handsets, as well as regional and global wireless service providers — said they hope that joining forces will make the platform stronger.
One thing LiPS and LiMo are sharing already, Weinberg noted, are member companies, many of which had joined both organizations. That overlap was a factor in the merger. "Given how aligned the two groups already were, and the shared memberships ... it made sense to join efforts," Weinberg said.
The merger is expected to be completed by the end of this month.
