Linaro Enterprise Group announced
Linaro has announced the formation of a group "to collaborate and accelerate the development of foundational software for ARM Server Linux". The Linaro Enterprise Group (LEG) consists of existing Linaro members ARM, Samsung, and ST-Ericsson, joined by new Linaro members AMD, Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, Calxeda, Canonical, Cavium, Facebook, HP, Marvell, and Red Hat. "The team will build on Linaro’s experience of bringing competing companies together to work on common solutions and enable OEMs, commercial Linux providers and System on a Chip (SoC) vendors to collaborate in a neutral environment on the development and optimization of the core software needed by the rapidly emerging market for low-power hyperscale servers." One would guess that the choice of LEG for the name of an ARM group was not entirely arbitrary.

Coming next: the Linux Initiative for Mobile Broadband?
(a network partition using the protocol this group standardizes would become known as a 'severed LIMB'.)
sorry sorry

Linaro gives ARM a LEG up!
(we've been joking for months about the best bad pun)
It's really exciting to finally be able to talk about LEG. It's going to result in great things over the next few years. ARM servers need to be standard, compatible, and portable. We're going to ensure that Linaro Enterprise Group works upstream to implement the various emerging ARM server platform standards that will appear, allowing one unified 64-bit kernel to run on whatever of the new generation server you use. But it's more than that of course, as the work will include all kinds of things that I guess will be posted on the website over the coming weeks.

No Freescale?
Clearly a strategic necessity Posted Nov 2, 2012 17:19 UTC (Fri) by maney (subscriber, #12630) [Link] You just can't price anything in the Enterprise market without both an ARM and a LEG.

We're working on what the next acronym should be ;)
