Fair enough, but I am having to say no to lots of projects and focus on my work with NASA, the UN, the IUCN, my thesis, and my two fun projects are rebuilding a CNC plasma torch the size of a small house, and if there is time, making some tools for my portable forge and foundry...
Were the current work overlaps with LCNC: building a Gentoo based distro + live CD/DVD. This is currently envisioned as supporting RT-Prempt and Xenomai (3.1.2-3 / 3.3), associated tools (3.5.1), for a selection of embedded as well as common CPU's (3.6). Since one of my experimental platforms for this will use the the FPGA-NURBS board, I expect to do a little work on the 7i43 (7.3). SO, when the upstream Gentoo dev is to a place where he is ready to share the overlay I will test and help out. But I am at the point where my involvement in the next few months will be measured in hours, not months... Speaking for myself, there is not enough days in my hours...
