The Linux Foundation has formed a “Green Linux” initiative that will focus on reducing the open source operating system’s power consumption. The group is meeting next week in Ottawa, Canada where it is expected to set development priorities. The initiative was formed last week at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit that took place at Google’s Silicon Valley campus. The event attracted 230 individual open source developers and employees for companies backing the foundation including Novell, Red Hat and IBM.

Sun Microsystems is considering the possibility of releasing OpenSolaris, the open source version of its Solaris operating system, under the latest version of the GNU GPL, the primary free software license. Up to now, OpenSolaris has been offered only under the Common Development and Distribution License, which is also approved by the Open Source Initiative. Over the past several years, Sun has struggled to keep pace as cheaper Intel-based servers running GNU/Linux have picked away at the market share of its Solaris operating system.
