| 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 keynotes from Red Hat and Sun/MYSQL, and a panel on Linux business strategies.
 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 a few newsworthy announcements. First there was HP's announcement that it was shipping the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, its first Linux-powered computer to be sold in the U.S., and then Via announced it would open its devices to open source developers. This year's event also featured a keynote by IDC's Al Gillen predicting that the Linux server business will grow to $49 billion in 2011 (see first video listed below).
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
