Turbolinux Joins OSDL
The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL), a global consortium of leading
technology companies dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Linux,
announced that Turbolinux, a leading developer of Linux for Asian markets, has
joined the Lab as its newest member.
Turbolinux, one of the most widely-used Linux distributions in Asia, was a
pioneer in developing double-byte character support for Linux and championing
Linux as an operating system for business and government.
"Turbolinux from the beginning has driven the use of Linux in Asia, making
major open-source contributions to improve the software for use by
corporations and government agencies," said Koichi Yano, president and COO of
Turbolinux. "In fact, we just had a customer win with Carrier Grade Linux
technology on Turbolinux in China. We look forward to working closely with
OSDL to advance the Linux operating system globally, as well as in Japan,
China and other key Asian markets."
"With Turbolinux joining OSDL, we have assembled almost all the world's
leading Linux distributions serving every geographic market," said Stuart
Cohen, CEO of OSDL. "Their technical expertise in Asian language support,
enterprise focus and local market experiences are important additions to the
Lab's membership and we look forward to their contributions to our Linux
initiatives in Japan and Asia."
