While identifying the exact "birth" of embedded Linux is no easy task, 1999 saw the first flickering of the explosion of Linux-ready devices that continues to this day. Next week's panel is hosted by one of the industry's pioneers: Ampro and LinuxDevices founder Rick Lehrbaum (pictured above), now a consultant and editor of DeviceGuru.com .
Lehrbaum will discuss the past and future, as well as the strengths and weaknesses, of embedded Linux with long-time embedded industry leaders from companies including MontaVista, Performance Technologies (PT), and Wind River. The panelists will also assess the quality and completeness of current development tools, examine the proliferation of Linux-based mobile phone stacks, and evaluate the state of Carrier Grade Linux (CGL).
Been there, done that: (l to r) Jim Ready, Bill Weinberg, John Grana, Glenn Seiler
The panelists and their topics, along with related links from the last decade of embedded Linux, are: Jim Ready , founder and CTO, MontaVista Software -- "MIDs and netbooks and handsets, oh my!"
