Hi Nathan,

I agree that the ideas listed out in my previous mail doesn't take all of
the summer to implement. I which case, I would like to add another point to
my proposal.

PyBOMBS support to Embedded WG -

The idea is fairly simple. The current Embedded WG provides a
OpenEmbedded(OE) based SDK to develop and build OOT modules. I intend to
add a layer on top of PyBOMBS to work with OE tools (bitbake etc.,), for
setting up the environment for SDK and cross-compiling the OOT Modules. The
module author will have one less thing to worry about while developing apps
for supported embedded platforms. I need to do a bit of homework on this
front before I write the proper proposal and any help from the embedded WG
(Philip Balister) is appreciated in this direction.

My plan (tentative) as of now is to roughly dedicate 5 weeks to implement
the app store in the beginning, 3 weeks for adding PyBOMBS support to the
embedded working group and 3 weeks for the CGRAN-PyBOMBS integration (1
week) & CGRAN only work (2 weeks). Last two weeks will be dedicated for
sanity checks and bug fixes.

Cheers,
Ravi Sharan
