Chinese lab to promote Linux standards
According to U.S-based Free Standards Group (FSG), a non-profit organization which administers the Linux Standards Base (LSB), the new lab is the first of such centers outside the United States and will be maintained by the FSG and China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI).
Established to thwart the deviation of Linux-based systems, the LSB develops and promote a set of binary common standards that enhance interoperability between Linux machines.
Amanda McPherson, marketing director of the FSG, told ZDNet Asia in an e-mail interview that the Chinese government had approached the group about opening a lab in the country.
"They wanted to adopt our standard as the national standard for China, and be able to test and certify against it," she explained. "Local certification authorities are needed since they translate the materials into the local language and can work better with local software providers."
