Linux forum founded by large electronics companies Published: 3 July 2003 Some of the largest consumer electronics manufacturers have joined forces to promote Linux operating systems, which could pave the way for its use in digital devices such as mobile ‘phones and audio and visual equipment. The companies include Sony, Philips Electronics, Toshiba, NEC and Matsushita, manufacturer of the Panasonic brand, and they have founded the CE Linux Forum (CELF) to this end. The CELF is aimed at, amongst other things, outlining technical requirements needed to make Linux more suitable for consumer devices. The formation of the group may prove a further threat to Microsoft, which has been doing a similar thing with its own software in DVD players, televisions and other electronic equipment. Matsushita and Sony have already embarked on enhancing Linux for use in their audio and visual products, and Philips have expressed an interest in using Linux for linking together networked products such as stereos and printers in the household. The group also aims to promote the use of ‘CE Linux’ within the industry. Linux code that has been developed by coders can be submitted to the CELF Architecture Group and Steering Committee for consideration, and if accepted this will be incorporated into the CELF source tree, which is also open to the public, the group said on its website. 3 July 2003 fd-centre.net
