Those of you who follow Linux know its use as an embedded OS has skyrocketed in recent memory, delivering a sea change in the consumer electronics and mobile industries. We think complying with open source licenses is relatively straightforward [...]

 Amanda McPherson | IBM: Innovation is the key driver for CIOs, not Cost

 Jennifer Cloer | The People Who Support Linux: At Work and at Home
Chase Crum is a U.S. Army veteran, a Shriner, an IT infrastructure manager, and a member of The Linux Foundation. This certainly does not capture all that defines Chase, but it begins to illustrate where he derives his ideas about Linux, community and giving back.

 Linux Weather Forecast | Thoughts on 2.6.34

 Ted T'so | Fast ext4 fsck times, revisited
Last night I managed to finish up a rather satisfying improvement to ext4’s inode and block allocators.
