...by saying Hello and introducing myself. I just joined the list a couple of days ago; I work at Wind River, who if you work in the embedded space you've probably heard of before. :) I should first say that I joined of my own accord -- this isn't a sanctioned or sponsored activity. However I felt that one of the important success criteria for any software platform in the embedded space is support of a broad inventory of operating systems and hardware platforms; I'm curious how others feel about this. I haven't thought much about how I can help, just that I would like to. I do have pretty good access to hardware of various CPU families, and if the project felt it was worth pursuing I could also work to proxy within the organization on things like compatibility with our commercial RTOS's. One specific comment (and I haven't finished reading through all of the existing document, so bear with me) is that I notice a significant mention of wireless devices. A broader opportunity you may not want to ignore is that as 'web services' become more established, other types of networked devices (wireless or not, consumer or not) will also either want to be able to connect to those services or expose services of their own. These are just ideas. Any others? -Jason ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Anderson email: jason.anderson@windriver.com Manager, Platforms Operations Programs ph: 510-749-2202 Manager, FreeBSD Engineering fax: 510-749-2010 Wind River cell: 510-708-3588 |
