HomeLinux Driver Project: rapporto Giugno 2009

In it, he reports on being largely successful in accomplishing the three goals he set for the project last year and lays out four goals for next year. "Goal three (work in the open) has succeeded even better than I had expected. At the Linux Kernel Summit last year, the drivers/staging/ tree was created, allowing us a place within the main Linux kernel tree for drivers to be merged that were not yet of the high kernel quality standards. This has allowed many users the ability to use their hardware with Linux much earlier than previously possible, and it has allowed a common place for the community to contribute patches and fixes for these drivers. This has [alleviated] the need to hunt over the internet for various drivers." | Leggi l'originale...
Il famoso Linux Driver Project[1] può essere riassunto così: "Aziende produttrici, dateci le specifiche del vostro hardware e i driver Linux ve li scriviamo noi".
A quanto pare l'iniziativa continua ad essere un grosso successo e sempre più aziende aderiscono e forniscono informazioni su dispositivi che così possono essere supportati da Linux, con guadagno per entrambe le parti.
