Segment Two- Embedded Linux– What is it, where
is it going, and why is Microsoft saying it’s too
expensive?

Tonight we will have a conversation with Murry
Shohat, Executive Director of Embedded Linux
Consortium, and Rick Lehrbaum, co-founder
of the ELC in a discussion of the past and future of Linux based
embedded technologies.

The ELC is trade association dedicated to
promotion, evangelization, implementation and standardization of
the Linux operating system throughout embedded computing. Their web
site is brought to you by proactive members and many volunteers.
Funding is derived from the general membership. The ELC is a
vendor-neutral non-profit organization working to increase the
depth and breadth and accelerate the speed of Linux adoption in the
embedded market. Developers who have made contributions to the Open
Source code base may

Together with Rick Lehrbaum, Murry Shohat
co-founded the ELC as a pro bono effort, instantly becoming
Executive Director as a half-time job that evolved rapidly to
time-and-a-half. Over the first year, Murry helped drive membership
to more than 140 corporations and individuals.

A long time Silicon Valley journalist and PR practitioner,
Murry’s exposure to the embedded computing industry includes the
launch of the VMEbus, PC/104 Plus and other notable interconnect
technologies. Murry has worked with many integrated circuit
companies, board developers, operating system vendors and
publishers as a manager, consultant, editor and writer.

Linux entered Murry’s professional life in 1997 when, as a
journalist for /Integrated Systems Design/ magazine, he was
dispatched to investigate rumors that EDA engineers were performing
week-long chip verifications using Linux on home x86 PC’s to avoid
the blue screen of death at work. “The truth went so far beyond the
rumors that we were able to publish back-to-back cover articles
spanning more than 20,000 words,” he exclaimed. Murry’s objectives
for the ELC in 2003 include building new equity for Linux as a
world standard through the ELC platform specification effort and
related API’s. He is also deeply committed to building durable
relationships between the developer-centric open source community
and for-profit corporations in the membership. “I want to help
rationalize and catalyze a productive partnership between
volunteerism and capitalism.”

For the near term, Murry intends to help rebuild membership.
“The ELC is a mirror of the industry, so we didn’t escape the
downturn. Now, let’s rebuild and show the globe’s skeptics and FUD
merchants that a vendor-independent OS competes quite effectively
on a level playing field.”

In 1983, Rick Lehrbaum co founded Ampro
Computers, Inc., a company well known as a pioneer of “embedded
PCs”. From 1983 through 1999, Lehrbaum served as Ampro’s VP of
Engineering, interim president, and Executive VP of Strategic
Development.

In 1992, Lehrbaum formed the PC/104 Consortium and then served
as its chairman through January 2000. In recognition of his
“evangelical” efforts that resulted in the broad adoption of PC/104
technology throughout the embedded computing market, Lehrbaum is
often referred to as the “father of PC/104”.

In October, 1999, Lehrbaum turned his attention to embedded
software, founding his second startup: LinuxDevices.com (“the
Embedded Linux Portal”) and later founding the nonprofit Embedded
Linux Consortium. LinuxDevices.com was subsequently acquired by
ZDNet, and Lehrbaum served as Executive Editor for the site under
its ZDNet tenure. In September 2001, LinuxDevices.com was
reacquired by DeviceForge LLC, a company formed by Lehrbaum at that
time. In October, 2002, DeviceForge launched WindowsForDevices.com,
a site devoted to the use of Windows technologies in embedded
applications.

Lehrbaum’s early professional activities included hardware
design, assembly language programming, and project management at
Data General Corp., Advanced Micro Devices, and Telesensory Systems
Inc. Lehrbaum received his BS and MS degrees in Physics from New
York University and Northeast Louisiana University,
respectively.
