Hello all, The CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation occasionally solicits contractors for projects they are considering. The following projects are currently under consideration for funding this year, and the CE Workgroup would be interested in hearing from you if you would like to work on them (and be paid for it!)
http://elinux.org/Supporting_open-spec_development_board_and_libraries_on_meta-debian and http://elinux.org/Real-time_GPU_computing_with_RT_PREEMPT and http://elinux.org/Support_mainline_Broadcom_wireless_driver_on_an_Android_platform A little background might be worthhile... For a while now, CEWG has been studying the feasibility of combining the Yocto Project with Debian, to create a system for using the Debian distribution for embedded projects. The first proposal above, intends to solicit (paid) contributions to extending CEWGs project to more hardware and to include more libraries in the target distribution. The second proposal is research project into the issues of utilizing GPU functionality in combination with Linux RT (specifically the RT_PREEMPT patch set). The third proposal is related to CEWGs ongoing device mainlining project. This is the first of what may be a series of proposals to fund specific technical work to reduce the amount of out-of-tree code used in mobile devices. For more information about that project, see http://elinux.org/CE_Workgroup_Device_Mainlining_Project and http://elinux.org/Kernel_areas_of_focus_for_mainlining If you are interested in any of the above topics, and in particular are willing to get paid to work on some of these areas (producing or enhancing open source software to benefit the entire embedded industry), then please contact me. Please also respond to this thread, or e-mail me directly if you have any questions about the projects. Thanks, -- Tim Bird -------- Senior Software Engineer, Sony Mobile Communications, Inc Architecture Group Chair, CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation _______________________________________________ Celinux-dev mailing list Celinux-dev@lists.celinuxforum.org https://lists.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev
