Desktop Summit Keynote Interview with Dirk Hohndel
Dirk Hohndel is the Chief Linux and Open Source Technologist at Intel and
the opening keynote speaker at the Desktop Summit. William Carlson traded emails
with Dirk as part of a series of interviews leading up to the Summit in
August. "
[Intel's] Open Source Technology Center (OTC) has a rather wide charter. Basically of course, we are doing much of the enabling of future Intel hardware (and software) innovations in Linux and other open source software based environments. But beyond that we work on a lot of interesting new technologies in open source. Examples include MeeGo or the Yocto Project. And there are many more projects that have been initiated by the OTC: PowerTop, LatencyTop, many other projects ranging from bootloader to client applications. Fundamentally we view ourselves as part of the larger open source community."

Intel could do more
I wish Intel would put out more documentation for their stuff. That they pay a lot of devs is nice and all, but sometimes FOSS goes against their business interest and they don't cooperate (one example is CoreBoot) So having good docs would probably help more than just having developers.
