I'm not sure if this is useful. It sounds a bit more like a
marketing group.
You have to pay a fee to join.

It costs a bunch to join ... so it's hard to work on the inside.
It's interesting the more you pay, the more votes you get in the forum.

The press release says they have released a specification ... but
nothing is visible on the web site. I am not sure how Linux
compatible this group is .... at least in philosophy. The
participation is closed, the forum allows patented code (as long as
the license is non-discriminatory). Even with these issues, I'd
still be very interested in seeing what they are cooking up.

Subject: standard API for linux phones?
the register has a piece about a draft of a standard API for linux
phones, concerning basics such as interaction with the address book,
texting, ui and voice-calling. future revisons to increase the
coverage
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/11/lips_mobile_linux/
and from TFA
http://www.lipsforum.org/
does anyone here have any further knowledge about this, beyond the
blurb on the site? is it worth adhering to, or a thinly-veiled
atttempt for one company (it's backed by orange) to foist
propietary/their own standards on everyone else? does it compare at
all to what the linux mobile group (backed by samsung, motorola and
others) are trying to achieve? and of course, has it been considered
for openmoko/the neo?
