Pleasure's all mine :) Unfortunately, there isn't as much interest as one would expect. Everyone's into more "trendy" topics nowadays like ML and AI, but there's some who're actively looking into the subject. As I tried to dig into the Eclipse IoT Eco System the last time, it's good > to hear that we have people on the list that are familiar with Mozillas > Gateway! I wouldn't say I know it in-depth but enough to move around.

Of course, whenever time permits I'll help however I can. Btw, just to clarify; by "media" I meant graphic design related (Photoshop) stuff. Would it be possible for you to share some details about your use cases > (where you used edgent, or at least considered to use edgent) with us? > I would be really interested in it. Absolutely! My project is based on the server end of an IoT infrastructure. I'm basically proposing an *Architecture for a central server to understand nested (Multi-hierarchy) Fog Networks connected to it*. In this case, a Fog Network refers to several Edge Devices connected to an Edge Gateway. The project actually multi-phased and in reality, involves the Edge Devices and Gateways along with the server. But given the time constraints, my scope was limited to the latter. Hence, why I took a ready-made Edge Gateway solution like Mozilla's. I hope that makes sense. Also, is there any possibility of creating a discourse forum for Edgent? I know given the circumstances we're a little tight on manpower and budget, but just putting it out there. :) On Tue, Nov 6, 2018 at 1:17 PM Julian Feinauer <j.feina...@pragmaticminds.de> wrote: > Hi Nuwan, > > it's a pleasure to hear from you! > I didn’t know that there is so much usage of edge processing in academia, > that’s pretty cool to hear. > As I tried to dig into the Eclipse IoT Eco System the last time, it's good > to hear that we have people on the list that are familiar with Mozillas > Gateway! > > And, to be honest, it would be great if you could find some time to > contribute documentation or media as this is something programmers tend to > skip __ > > Best > Julian > > PS.: > @Nuwan and @Gayashan: > Would it be possible for you to share some details about your use cases > (where you used edgent, or at least considered to use edgent) with us? > I would be really interested in it. > > Am 06.11.18, 04:12 schrieb "Nuwan Jayawardene" <nsga...@gmail.com>: > > Hi All, > > I'm an undergrad following a CS degree in Sri Lanka. > I came across Edgent when doing research for my final year thesis on > Fog > Networks and IoT. > Even though Edgent isn't in my in project scope (it was overkill, I > went > with Mozilla's Things Gateway) for the time being, I had definite > plans to > include it in my implementation afterwards.
