Community development in open source software is not just for geeks in sandals nor for niche Linux companies any more. It’s mainstream and it’s here to stay.

The recent analysis of companies contributing code to the Linux kernel shows that large companies including Novell, IBM, Intel, Nokia and Texas Instruments are getting serious about engaging in community development. Organisations such as the limofoundation.org are encouraging their members to work with community projects “upstream”, that is, with the community rather than in isolation,  to avoid missing out on millions of dollars worth of (PDF link).

Wireless Linux group LiMo expects three major operators to offer handsets using its platform this year, to compete with news rivals Google and Apple, its executive director said. So far only Vodafone has launched a model in Europe, using its Linux-based operating system, while 60 handsets were launched using the platform, mostly in Japan and South-Korea.

London is to become the centre of a fightback by the world's biggest mobile phone networks, which together serve more than four billion customers, against the growing power of Apple and Google.

The capital will be the location for the headquarters of a new business that will create a single global market for downloadable mobile phone applications, allowing the mobile phone companies to cash in on the growing craze for "apps".

The two consortiums, wireless Linux group LiMo and application alliance WAC, offer operators alternatives to the software and services of Apple, Google or Nokia as they can brand and customize their software.

Rethink Wireless - 00:00:00

The most striking announcement at the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was the formation of the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC) by 24 major operators, sounding a loud clarion call against the threat of Google and the bitpipe role. It was clear that this initiative tied in ideally with the LiMO mobile platform - both looking to create a white label software platform with a common developer base, to support operator branded apps and user experiences. The limofoundation.org welcomed the move at the time, but is now seeking closer ties, which could build up a real head of carrier steam behind its Linux oriented efforts.

Telecoms - 00:00:00

Keen to increase its relevancy across all industry areas, mobile Linux evangelist group the limofoundation.org is looking to build bridges with the recently formed Wholesale Applications Community.

GSMA Mobile Business Briefing - 00:00:00

Mobile Linux platform group the limofoundation.org has sought to align itself with the recently established Wholesale Applications Community, claiming that both initiatives share “belief in true openness.” The Wholesale Applications Community, launched at Mobile World Congress last month, sees at least 24 of the world’s largest operators join forces to launch an open international applications platform, marking the largest unified move to date by the operator community into the mobile apps space.

Mobile OSes have been a major theme at Mobile World Congress this year, and each of the main contenders has taken a stab at diluting the buzz around Android, as the Google OS goes mass market. Windows Mobile, the new MeeGo and Symbian all showed off new platforms, but it was the limofoundation.org that really tapped into the mood of the show - nailing its colors firmly to the mast of the cellcos' defense against the open web.

Reuters - 00:00:00

LiMo, a non-profit foundation, hopes to benefit from its focus on giving greater say over software development to telecoms operators.

The role of top operators in the platform - Vodafone uses it in its 360 offering - is a key attraction for Adobe, whose Flash is among the world's most widely used web-based computer programs, and it has some 1.6 million developers.

Vodafone and other operators have strongly pledged for a smaller number of operating systems, as supporting them is a timely and costly exercise.

Fierce Wireless - 00:00:00

The limofoundation.org added Adobe and three other companies as members, and the open-source industry consortium also released the latest version of its platform, called R3.

The support of Adobe will allow LiMo handsets to run the company's Flash platform. Indeed, LiMo said Adobe will work with LiMo Members (which number more than 50) to make porting Flash to the LiMo platform simpler.

Financial Times - 00:00:00

LiMo could do with a little of the limelight. The mobile Linux operating system has been almost forgotten as Google-led Android has become the open-source flavour of the year for handset makers and carriers.

Vodafone has announced the launch of its new 360 web portal along with the release of two new touchscreen phones that will let customers take advantage of the new service. The 360 service is an Internet portal which brings cloud computing to Vodafone’s handsets...So why should you bother paying attention to the new handsets being released by Vodafone? It’s because they’re both set to run on the LiMo platform which means big things for the future of the mobile industry.

It is easy to assume that the mobile OS battle will be a straight fight between Symbian and Android, with a role for a few proprietary systems, notably iPhone. But the picture remains complex.

The mobile software world is evolving at a rapid rate buoyed by the infusion of open source principles, methodologies, philosophies and licensing. While this is exciting and invigorating, it is also giving rise to a number of issues - some new, while others give us a sense of "déjà-vu".

Developing a good mobile platform is really about making a long and complicated series of trade-offs. Software implementation in this world of trade-offs is a challenge.
