The Mobile Linux workgroup at the Linux Foundation has as its mission to accelerate adoption of Linux on next-generation mobile handsets and other converged voice/data portable devices.   The Mobile Linux workgroup does not impose unfunded mandates upon the Linux industry. Rather, it is creating guideline specifications based on existing open source (prototype) implementations and then works with Linux Foundation members and open source community members to invest in existing projects and instigate creation of new projects to fill gaps and fulfill the promise of Linux in key segments like mobile telephony.

Three of these guideline documents have just been posted

These documents include the Mobile Linux Platform Security Guidelines, the Mobile Linux Platform File System Guidelines, and the Mobile Linux Platform Developer Tools Guidelines.  These documents are set up on the wiki as a collaboration point to refine the guidelines and to fill in the gaps.  The mobile community is invited to  review these documents, collaborate on the content, and to provide feedback to the Linux Foundation Mobile Linux team.

Other documents in the pipeline include mobile guidelines for virtualization and performance.
