Linux Foundation has bought Linux.com
The Linux Foundation has long wanted the Linux.com domain name for obvious reasons. For a long time SourceForge, formerly VA Linux Systems, kept the site, but the company has now sold Linux.com to the Foundation.
Sources close to the deal say that the deal was made because, -- an all too familiar story these days -- the company needed the money.
You will, according to sources, see new stories on Linux.com, but exactly what you'll see will be determined by you -- the open-source and Linux community.
Zemlin said, "We'll be making it an IdeaForge. We'll build a site that gives the community what it wants. We'll provide a community forum and let people vote on the ideas, and then help make that happen."
This will mean, sources say, that rather than being a news site, the site will likely provide non-distribution specific Linux how-tos and documentation.
