Gartner Lauds the LSB

ZDNet just published an interview with Gartner Group Vice President Dion Wiggins where he was praised the Linux Standard Base and the Linux industry’s efforts at standardization:

Wiggins lauded efforts by the Linux Standards Base (LSB) and Asianux to promote a set of standards in Linux software development, so Linux applications can be deployed across multiple Linux flavors.

It’s great to see Gartner, generally considered to be a slow-mover in recommending open source, grab onto the LSB message and how important it is to the industry.
