[polarsys-iwg] Universities can now apply to become guest academic membe

[Gaël Blondelle <gael.blondelle@xxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

You should have noticed that Polarsys, the industry-driven community for 
tools for the development of embedded systems, is doing good progresses:
 * the first Steering and Architecture committees happened on October 
19th and elected Pierre Gaufillet as Polarsys chairman and Gaël 
Blondelle as Polarsys Spokeperson
 * we had a fruitful face to face meeting in Ludwigsburg, with a part 
in collaboration with the Automotive IWG about tools qualification and 
big models
 * we published the first version of our web site (see 
http://www.polarsys.org)

We are on the right track to grow our community: we count 7 members, and 
2 more steering members are coming by the end of the year.

Now, we are ready to review applications from universities that want to 
become Polarsys guest academic members (see Polarsys charter 
http://www.eclipse.org/org/industry-workgroups/polarsys_charter.php). 
Such applications must be reviewed and accepted by the Steering Committee.

As a university, here is what you can expect from Polarsys:
- Get contact with potential users of your innovations
- Host some R&D projects after acceptation by the Steering Committee
- Get mentoring about the best way to open source your components and 
build fruitful collaborations with Polarsys ecosystem members

For your application, please send an email either on the Polarsys 
mailing list or to gael.blondelle_at_obeo.fr and 
ralph.mueller_at_eclipse.org. Here is the template for application:
