Ozlabs

Encyclopedia : O : OZ : OZL : Ozlabs

OzLabs was a Free Software research and development group started by US-based Linuxcare in Canberra, Australia. The group was formed around Andrew Tridgell, and grew to a dozen Free Software developers from around the country. Upon Linuxcare's withdrawal from Australia, the group splintered among several employers, with the majority working for IBM at IBM OzLabs on Linux on PowerPC and related areas. The original group of OzLabs, plus several honorary members, is sometimes referred to as "Greater OzLabs".
