The Linux Executive Report from IBM will be taking a break in its publishing schedule until January 6, 2010. Our news coverage in 2009 has focused on Linux and open source product news, Linux adoption trends, research that has tracked the spread of Linux technology throughout the enterprise, interviews with Industry leaders in Q&A format, events and training as well as key developments at IBM Linux. More widely deployed than ever, Linux has proven to be a key enabling technology in the enterprise and The Linux Executive Report will continue to follow developments and provide insight for our readers. Many of you have chosen to participate in the events listed in The Linux Executive Report, downloaded documents and white papers made available through the newsletter, and sent us email suggestions for content. Thinking ahead to your priorities for the coming year, please email us your thoughts or suggest areas of coverage you will find most useful or compelling in the immediate future.

We wish all of our readers a happy and successful 2010.
