Today, ITDev signed a framework agreement for a long-term engagement with a leading multinational semiconductor company in touch and display technologies.
The contract covers developing device drivers for their Linux/Android platforms, creating demonstration applications and supporting their customers. The technology will be used in the next generation of mobile consumer devices such as smartphones.
The Open Innovation Network's mission is to protect Linux with a shared defensive patent pool. When ITDev was recently invited to join the OIN as a regular contributor to the Linux Kernel, it was a no-brainer to sign up. ITDev fully supports the OIN's aim to promote a positive, fertile ecosystem for Linux, driving innovation.
The OIN has strong industry support with backing from Google, IBM, NEC, Philips, Red Hat, Sony and SUSE.
