The Free Standards Group (FSG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and promoting open source software standards, today announced it has partnered with O’Reilly Media to offer services to Linux application developers as part of its Linux Standard Base (LSB) Developer Network.

The LSB Developer Network (LDN), the central, community-based source of information for software developers writing portable Linux applications, is available today in beta form at developer.freestandards.org.
For the first time, developers writing portable, LSB-compliant Linux applications will not have to cobble together information from various sources; rather they can make use of and contribute to software tools, standards, forums and content provided by the Free Standards Group.
By using the tools and information on the site, software developers can build their application according to the Linux Standard Base specification and certify it using the FSG’s certification and testing services, receiving the ability for their application to run on multiple distributions of Linux. In the future, O’Reilly and FSG will collaborate on the LDN portal and other developer services. The LDN is supported by leaders in the Linux ecosystem including HP, IBM, MySQL, Novell, Real Networks, Red Hat and many more. Full Story |
