[Portland] LinuxUser & Developer

[John Cherry]

Just received permission to send out the pdf of the Portland Project
article that was released in LInuxUser & Developer.

http://www.osdl.org/Documents/LuD68_Cherry_Portland.pdf

The timing of this article actually turned out pretty nicely.  We will
be making a press release of Portland 1.0 on Wednesday, with a couple of
press prep interviews tomorrow.

Congratulations to Waldo and the Portland team.  The article is a little
"dramatic," but that is how these articles tend to be.  Other than the
theatrical opening, it actually does a nice job of explaining the
multi-phase approach, the installation and runtime tools, a call for
testing, and a call for application vendors to use the tools.

This project really IS a representation of the power of the open source
community to define a need, and to collaborate to address it in a way
that moves both the market and technology forward.

Cheers,
