The Open Source Developer Labs and the Free Standards Group, two groups trying to standardize and steer Linux, have merged in an effort to increase their influence.
The new group is called the Linux Foundation, the companies plan to announce Monday. "It made sense to combine two organizations that serve a similar function and have a lot of similar members," said Jim Zemlin, who had been executive director of the Free Standards Group and now is leader of the foundation.
