LSB Roadmap
Tagged with LSB Tools & Resources
Introduction
The LSB aims to provide a single target for ISVs writing software or porting it to the Linux platform, where "the Linux platform" is defined as a short list of Linux distributions on which their applications must run, potentially different from ISV to ISV.
For the LSB to do this, it must be possible to target a version of the LSB with assurance that the application will run on future versions. For example, an LSB 3.0 application will run on LSB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, ... compliant distributions.

LSB Charter

Mission
The Linux Standard Base (LSB) is a Linux Foundation (LF) project to develop, through consensus, a set of standards that will increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable conforming products to work with any compliant system -- in other words, to provide a single target for vendors building products for the Linux platform. In addition, the LSB helps coordinate efforts to recruit vendors to develop compliant products.
