LiMo Foundation

As a flexible, open operating system, Linux brings extraordinary value to mobile communications. Just as valuable is the ecosystem of Linux developers that is already large and growing exponentially as Linux increases its presence.

The research firm International Data Corp has estimated the presence of Linux in the traditional server and software markets at $18 billion with a projected growth to $40 billion by 2010. The market growth in these segments has dramatically increased the number of developers ready to write Linux-based applications.

This ecosystem of developers will become more and more important in the future as the connected home, the connected auto, the connected office—in which all devices communicate to one another wirelessly—becomes reality.

By establishing Linux at the heart of the mobile communications industry, LiMo is making the pool of Linux developers around the world a new and vital resource for handset manufacturers, carriers, software developers, integrators, etc.
