Murry Shohat, executive director of the Embedded Linux Consortium writes . . .

Dear Members and friends of the ELC — Is embedded Linux losing the positioning war to FUD? Not according to 60+ registered delegates for our Technical Interests meeting on Monday, April 9 at ESC2001. Standards AND Conformance are developing substantial steam. If you've already responded, toss this message. If you haven't, do you need to be there? Check with me now to reserve no-cost space: [email protected]. Or, phone 707-576-0115 / 0111.

Are your concerns on our latest list of member-submitted “Interests?”

• An embedded Linux Platform standard
  
• Graphic Standards
  
• Real-Time Definitions
  
• Embedded Linux and the GPL
  
• Documentation Standards
  
• Boot loaders and BIOS code
  
• Fund a “Technical Division” of the ELC
  
• Model definition of minimum utilities for different classes of embedded systems
  
• Configuration of GNU/Linux for alternative platforms
  
• Best practices for testing open source embedded software
  
• Strategies for outsourcing the development of standards

Come for the fireworks. Light a few of your own. Stay for the food at our Reception which follows immediately.

Best regards,

Murry
