OSDL taps director for Linux User Advisory Council
Portland Business Journal
The Open Source Development Labs appointed Colin Hope-Murray as its Linux User Advisory Council director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Hope-Murray will direct Beaverton-based OSDL's overseas efforts with a specific emphasis on the requirements of Linux and open source users.
Europe is considered a spawning ground for Linux and open source projects. With projects such as Linux, Mandriva, MySQL, Trolltech and many others rooted in Europe, the region is in a position to drive new business opportunities around these technologies, OSDL said in a statement Thursday.
OSDL sponsors Linux User Advisory Councils in North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The councils are made up of senior-level IT executives who advise on the most pressing requirements for Linux and share successes on deployments.
Most recently, Hope-Murray was chief technology officer of Unilever's Global Infrastructure Organization, with worldwide responsibility for IT strategy, architecture, research and development.
