Linux Foundation names new CTO
The Linux Foundation has selected a new CTO, Ted Ts'o, who has been known as the first North American developer of the Linux kernel, the foundation said on Thursday.
Ts'o has served as a foundation fellow and chief platform strategist. He is considered one of the most highly regarded members of the Linux and open-source community, according to the foundation. He replaces Markus Rex, who has returned to Novell to work as acting general manager and senior vice president of Novell's Open Platform Solutions business unit.
Ts'o will lead technical initiatives for the foundation including oversight of the LSB (Linux Standard Base) and workgroups such as Open Printing. He also will interface with foundation members and the foundation's Technical Advisory Board, which represents the kernel community, the foundation said.
