The Linux Foundation has announced sessions for its Collaboration Summit, scheduled for Apr. 14-16 at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco. This year's event features a full-day workgroup on MeeGo, as well as discussions of Linux topics including toolchain, cloud computing, printing, filesystems, ISV porting, and open source compliance.

This year the conference will feature the new Moblin/Maemo mobile distribution merger, MeeGo, with a full-day session and a keynote by Nokia's Ari Jaaksi. The LF hosts the Intel- and Nokia-backed project, which spans the market from smartphones to netbooks.

The LF cites mobile computing, cloud computing, and legal topics as the three main threads of this year's Collaboration Summit. Beyond MeeGo sessions and a Wind River presentation on IP issues in embedded Linux, the event does not appear to focus much on mobile or embedded issues. Many sessions, however, cover fundamentals that affect embedded, such as a yearly Linux kernel panel featuring top maintainers like Andrew Morton and James Bottomley, and a regular meeting of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) workgroup.

Highlights of the 2010 LF Collaboration Summit on the first day of the conference, include:
