Hearing that Intel now has a relatively fond view of Linux is far from surprising, as they have a tradition for giving out specs for their hardware and even make open source drivers. The chipmaker also has quite a few open-source projects. To help consolidate its efforts and spearhead future developments, Intel has apparently launched the Mobile & Internet Linux Project website, which showcases a number of ideas to improve “power management, user interfaces, use of wireless […] Continue reading →

He didn’t only join the Haiku team for their presentation, but also gave a few words of support and encouragement for their project.
