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 On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 4:14 AM, West, Nathan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ravi, > > I like this.
