Two weeks ago, I wrote an analysis of the governance structure of the CodePlex Foundation, a new open source-focused foundation launched by Microsoft. My opinion, as expressed in that piece, was that significant changes (which I outlined) would need to be made to the Foundation before it would be taken seriously by Microsoft’s competitors, and more especially, by individual open source developers.

The first LinuxCon may be over, but the knowledge and community shared at the conference will be around for a long time.Expert sessions, informative keynotes, and multiple opportunities to kick back and socialize with Linux consumers of all stripes--these marked the flavor for LinuxCon.
