"The Consumer Electronics Linux Forum (CELF) celebrated its
one-year anniversary today by releasing its first Specification and
Reference Implementation. The Specification is a 67-page document
aimed at guiding system developers interested in creating or
extending individual technologies in Linux for use in consumer
electronic (CE) devices. The Reference Implementation is a fully
patched source tree supporting nine target boards. CELF is an
industry consortium chartered with steering the development of a

Matsushita, Sony and six other Asian CE giants in order to promote
improvements to Linux that would make it better suited for use in
CE devices..."
