18-Jun-2007: Linux Verification Center at the Linux Foundation Summit

The first ever Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit took place from June 13 through 15 at Google's Mountain View Campus in the Silicon Valley, California, USA. This unique, invitation-only event brought together the key specialists in the Linux ecosystem to discuss where Linux is, where it needs to go and how we can all help get it there.

Representatives of Linux Verification Center Alexey Khoroshilov and Vladimir Rubanov were invited to this event to report the progress and to discuss further developments in the LSB Infrastructure program, which is run by the Linux Verification Center under a contract between ISP RAS and the Linux Foundation.

Linux Verification Center is currently responsible for development of the new infrastructure systems to enable efficient management and adoption of LSB (Linux Standard Base) standard:

• LSB Central Database
• LSB Navigator
• LSB Application Testkit Manager
• LSB Distribution Testkit Manager
• LSB Certification System

Linux Verification Center is also actively involved in developing new testing frameworks and new tests for LSB as well as in various analitycal tasks to strengthen the standard.

Vladimir Rubanov delivered three presentations at various sessions:

• Overview of LSB Navigator at Linux Desktop Architects Meeting
• LSB Infrastructure: Software Systems at combined LSB Face-to-Face and Testing session
• LSB Infrastructure: Testing and Analytics at combined LSB Face-to-Face and Testing session

We thank all the colleagues we had a chance to talk with. Looking forward to continuing our joint activities to make the Linux platform and open source ideas ubiquitous.
