Hi Nuwan,
it's a pleasure to hear from you!
I didn’t know that there is so much usage of edge processing in academia,
that’s pretty cool to hear.
As I tried to dig into the Eclipse IoT Eco System the last time, it's good to
hear that we have people on the list that are familiar with Mozillas Gateway!
And, to be honest, it would be great if you could find some time to contribute
documentation or media as this is something programmers tend to skip __

PS.:
@Nuwan and @Gayashan:
Would it be possible for you to share some details about your use cases (where
you used edgent, or at least considered to use edgent) with us?
I would be really interested in it.

Hi All,
I'm an undergrad following a CS degree in Sri Lanka.
I came across Edgent when doing research for my final year thesis on Fog
Networks and IoT.
Even though Edgent isn't in my in project scope (it was overkill, I went
with Mozilla's Things Gateway) for the time being, I had definite plans to
include it in my implementation afterwards. The Open Source middleware
vendor I'm working with was also extremely interested to see how Edgent can
be integrated into their platform.
I've never mailed to this mailing list or committed to this project before,
but I'm doing so now as I want to see Edgent grow into a mature Apache
project.
While it's difficult for me to delegate a lot of time at the moment, I will
contribute to the best of my ability in other aspects like documentation
and media.
Hope to get a response soon.
Thanks and best regards.
