OGC?
I thought we settled that it’s not a good acronym…
Instead of each distro maintaining separate patches and fragmented hardware support, improvements can now be shared across the entire ecosystem
Pardon my ignorance but why is a “collective” necessary for this? Is this not something they could have already been doing unofficially?
Yes, but this formalizes things, possibly putting in place policies and SOPs and uniformly agreed upon structures
Not to mention, depending on the legal structure, tax benefits and cash pooling and other financial benefits
I wish people would get in the habit of posting the original source of the news instead of an article about the original source. This article doesn’t add any useful commentary or insight beyond what is already stated in the original post.
Tbf, the article author links the original source right at the start lol
