NEWS An organisation aiming to make Linux attractive for heavy-duty use has added some notable telco members. The Open Source Development Lab was founded by the likes of HP, IBM, Intel and NEC in 2000. Coinciding with this week's LinuxWorld show, the new members to be announced are Alcatel, Cisco, MontaVista Software, Nokia and Toshiba. The aim is to establish what the parties call 'carrier grade' Linux, usable by telcos and in the data centres of other large organisations. Linux distributors Red Hat and SuSE are also involved in the carrier grade push.
