First of all, thank you all for accepting me as Celix committer. I’m happy to be part of the community and will do my best to improve Celix.
> > Feel free to introduce yourself if you want! > As for the introduction: I’m Dutch, married and blessed with 2 daughters. In my free time I like to spent time with my family, read scifi/fantasy books, play boardgames and I should do more with sports ;) During my study I focused on real-time systems and Linux kernel programming. Ironically during the first years of my carrier I worked mostly with Java, XML, XForm, XQuery and associated techniques. Currently I am working at Thales Netherlands for a research project targeted at dynamically (re) configurable real-time distributed systems. Within this project we use a combination of Java and C. A colleague first introduced me to OSGi when I was working for ASML around 2008, although interested it wasn’t till last year I started to use OSGi on the work floor. I still remember a playful but powerful introduction to OSGi potential for embedded systems at the NLJUG conference in 2009 called “De leukste Bug!” by Marcel Offerman :) I’m convinced the OSGi has a lot the offer, especially for the embedded world (back to its roots) and therefore think Celix has a lot of potential. Lastly I am happy the device access donation is accepted and IMO it is a nice addition for Celix and its potential users. Greetings, Pepijn
