published a proposal for forming an Embedded Linux Consortium made
up of companies that are interested in rapidly growing the market
for embedded Linux.“
“In response to a number of requests from leading companies in
the embedded Linux market, Rick Lehrbaum, founder of
LinuxDevices.com has put together a proposal for an Embedded Linux
Consortium. The goal of the nonprofit multi-vendor organization,
would be to proliferate the use of Linux in embedded applications
as rapidly as possible. The proposal is posted at the Embedded
Linux Forum hosted by LinuxDevices.com, at
www.linuxdevices.com/forum….”
“The proposal discusses possible organizational structure, dues,
membership levels, launch plans, and administrative methods.
Lehrbaum, who was the founder of the 150-member PC/104 Consortium,
suggests modeling the Embedded Linux Consortium roughly along the
lines of the highly successful PC/104 group.”
