Hi Raul,

Why create a fork? Maintaining a project like this is a huge amount of work and forking often results in a lot of duplicated work. LCNC is very modular so it is possible to add a lot of functionality without breaking existing code. If you work with the LCNC project you have access to a lot of users and developers to help you with testing and debugging. If you create a fork of your own you need to then build up your own user base, which could take a long time.

dear Linux developers,

I'm pleased to announce a new fork of LinuxCNC, called "OpenCN* :

OpenCN is an open source numerical control (CNC) for high end machining 
applications (high dynamics, high precision).

OpenCN is originally based on LinuxCNC, but with strong enhancements :

-) completely reworked trajectory planning (TP) including jerk control based on 
embedded optimization
-) Xenomai asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) for hard real time, low latency
-) up to date Linux kernel
-) EtherCat with 10 kHz frame rate and distributed clock (DC), mode B
-) new Qt based GUI superseding "axis"

The HW platforms are x86 (available) and ARM (in preparation).
