“MontaVista, Inc., developer of the Hard Hat Linux operating
system for embedded applications is sponsoring two, free,
full-day seminars aimed at educating attendees on the use of Linux
in a variety of embedded-control designs. As the leading
solution provider for embedded Linux technology, MontaVista is
uniquely positioned to host a forum featuring key Linux
technologists, partners and industry analysts. The seminar series,
titled “Linux Inside,” debuts in the Silicon Valley at the Santa
Clara Marriott hotel on May 31 and in La Jolla, California, on June
5, at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla.”
“The Linux operating system has garnered a solid core of
adherents in the desktop and server markets, and is gaining major
penetration into the embedded and pervasive systems markets. “Linux
is giving Microsoft a run for its money on the desktop. The real
battle now is in the currently fragmented embedded space — Linux
presents the first ever mainstream open source embedded platform,
with features that make it an ideal fit for contemporary and future
embedded applications,” explains Jim Ready, MontaVista CEO and
seminar keynote speaker.”
“Developers are already taking advantage of the robust Linux
operating system to revamp embedded systems design and to
significantly reduce the costs of building and deploying
intelligent devices. Jim Ready shares his perspective on why and
how developers are leading this movement. Kevin Morgan, engineering
vice president at MontaVista demonstrates Linux scalability
tailoring a design’s size and performance. John Mehaffey,
MontaVista high-availability and distributed computing architect,
outlines the challenges in designing communications equipment and
other high-availability systems, focusing on how Linux meets those
challenges.”
