Just received permission to send out the pdf of the Portland Project article that was released in LInuxUser & Developer.
http://www.osdl.org/Documents/LuD68_Cherry_Portland.pdf
The timing of this article actually turned out pretty nicely. We will be making a press release of Portland 1.0 on Wednesday, with a couple of press prep interviews tomorrow.
Congratulations to Waldo and the Portland team. The article is a little "dramatic," but that is how these articles tend to be. Other than the theatrical opening, it actually does a nice job of explaining the multi-phase approach, the installation and runtime tools, a call for testing, and a call for application vendors to use the tools.
This project really IS a representation of the power of the open source community to define a need, and to collaborate to address it in a way that moves both the market and technology forward.
Cheers,
John Cherry OSDL Destkop Linux
