Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Linux development Report: Samsung among top sponsors, Tizen closer than you think
Peter, Let's say Linux is getting mobilized of recent (2012-to date) from the number of cooperate sponsors contributing code to the kernel. Otherwise, since Android -- which runs on the linux kernel -- accounts for more than 80% of smartphone marketshare already and still growing, then we can say that Linux is already mobilized. Couple that with upcoming Linux based Mobile OSes like Tizen, Sailfish, Ubuntu mobile and Firefox OS. Its absurd though, that Nokia which used to be a top contributor (back in the days of meego) has completely dropped out! On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 7:38 AM, Peter C.

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Linux development Report: Samsung among top sponsors, Tizen closer than you think
I understand all that. Just think that your article doesn't clearly point out that mobile contribution to the Linux kernel is actually pretty minimal. Android is all Google - so even with X billion Android devices, the amount of actual kernel contribution from Google doesn't increase. P.
