| LF Summit videos posted |
May 29, 2008
 The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit held on April 8-10 in Austin, Texas, may have been invitation only, but fortunately the LF has posted videos for the rest of us. The videos include sessions on mobile Linux, kernel development, and the boom in Linux laptops.
 According to the Linux Foundation, which is led by executive director and keynote speaker Jim Zemlin (pictured), the LF Collaboration Summit is the only Linux event to combine participation from "developers, users, vendors, ISVs, attorneys, and C-level executives to tackle the most pressing issues facing Linux." The LF formed in early 2007 when the OSDL (Open Source Development Labs) merged with the Free Standards Group (FSG).
Hosted by IBM, this year's summit had a 30 percent increase in attendance over the previous year, says the LF. The event was also home to at least one newsworthy announcement: Via's promise to start opening up its chipsets to the open source community.
The LF has posted videos of keynote sessions, panels, and even individual interviews. Here are the posted keynote address videos:Here are the roundtable panel videos:- State of Linux panel: Kernel hackers -- James Bottomley, Chris Wright, Matt Domsch, Christoph Lameter, Dave Jones, Ted Ts'o, and Arjen van de Ven
- Desktop panel: We're shipping Linux on PCs -- now what? -- John Hull (Dell), David Liu (gOS), Jim Mann (HP), Timothy Chen (Via), Kelly Fraser (Xandros), Gregoire Gentil (Zonbu), Ellis Wang (Asus), and Debra Kobs-Fortner (Lenovo)
- The next generation of open source panel discussion: Business models, platforms and strategy -- Marten Mickos (Sun), Javier Soltero (Hyperic), Larry Augustin ("investor"), Dean Drako (Barracuda), Steven Grandchamp (OpenLogic), and Kyle Shank (Persai)
- State of Linux panel: The industry perspective -- Dan Frye (IBM), Bdale Garbee (HP), Wim Coekaerts (Oracle), Brian Pawlowski (NetApp), Frank Fanzilli ("industry veteran"), Christy Wyatt (Motorola)
