Trolltech in Mobile and Desktop Initiatives
Trolltech has announced at the San José Developer Day that it is co-founding the Open Source Development Lab's new Mobile Linux Initiative, "a new working group focused on accelerating the adoption of Linux in the rapidly-growing mobile market". Trolltech, along with MontaVista, Motorola, Wind River and PalmSource, "will work on Linux operating system technical challenges, foster development of applications for Linux-based mobile devices, deliver requirements definition documents and use cases, and host complementary open source projects that support the initiative".
It is also to become an active participant in the Linux Standards Base Desktop Project, established "to foster industry collaboration to standardize common libraries and application behavior across the Linux desktop". Other participants include IBM, HP, Mandriva, Novell, Xandros and Linspire.
