Dear Automotive IWG member,
I organize, with Pierre
Gaufillet from Airbus, a track named "Open Source Communities
for Embedded Systems" during Open World Forum 2012 (in Paris,
see http://www.openworldforum.org/) with the following description:
In the last 5 years, Open
Source has gained more and more interest in the domain of
Embedded Systems development. It now covers most of the
industry domains from Telecommunications to Aeronautics,
including Space, Transportation, Energy and HealthCare. The
Open Source initiatives of the Embedded Systems domain go from
Operating Systems to development tools areas including
middleware platforms like Genivi. Some recent initiatives even
address Open Hardware for Embedded Systems. Many established
communities like The Linux Foundation or the Eclipse
Foundation create special programs to tackle specific issues
of Embedded Systems: need for long term support, development
in extended enterprise context, system certification by
authorities, etc.
This track gathers the
main actors of OSS for Embedded Systems ecosystem who will
share their insights, their feedbacks and their plans for the
future.
Our track is planned on
Thursday 11th with the following planning:
- One 45mn panel in the main auditorium to introduce the topic
to a wide audience (expecting up to 300 persons in the
auditorium at this time)
- A session with 3 panels (45 min each) in a smaller room (60
places) on the following topics
* Super Communities
* Industrial Use Cases
* Open Hardware for Embedded Systems
We think thatit would
be worth getting participants from Automotive IWG
participating to these panels.
Please contact us if you
want to talk either in the Super Communities or in the
Industrial Use Cases panel.
Best regards,
Gaël Blondelle
