VALVe moderators threaten to ban users for discussing a Linux version of steam.

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced three new members who represent the increasing opportunity for Linux as it continues to mature on devices.

Open Source Development Labs, an industry-funded consortium, has cut a third of its staff, lost its chief executive and scaled back some technical work.

CEO Stuart Cohen resigned to pursue opportunities with higher-level open-source software, and nine employees in technical and administrative roles lost their jobs, said Mike Temple, OSDL's chief operating officer and its new leader. That leaves a staff of 19, including Tom Hanrahan in charge of engineering, Diane Peters in charge of legal work, and top Linux programmers Linus Torvalds and Andrew Morton.

Tonight on The Linux Link Tech Show, Greg Boehnlein and Joe Brockmeier give us a preview of the upcoming Ohio LinuxFest, Allan talks about encoding video for his Nokia 770, Linc does a file server install, Pat installs Suse on his laptop.

And much, much more.
