Quoting Adam Borowski (kilob...@angband.pl): [j-core:]

Jeff Dionne wrote on http://lists.j-core.org/pipermail/j-core/2017-August/000645.html : We have not done a release in a while. Not because we stopped, rather the opposite (customer deliverables). My friend Rob Landley replied on http://lists.j-core.org/pipermail/j-core/2017-August/000646.html : We don't talk about it much here because we're keeping intentional distance between the projects, but it's no secret most of the engineers behind j-core work for https://se-instruments.com. (We're making sensor systems to allow renewable energy to displace fossil fuels in utility grids. At our last big conference the banner said "fault resolution to 3 meters". Except in Japanese, because it was "Smart Energy Week" at "Tokyo Big Site".) For context why this is such an exciting area to be in right now, here's a Stanford professor named Tony Seba (no relation to us, never met him, he's just a business-side domain expert in this space) teaching a class in 2013, then giving a book talk last year, then having his book talk analyzed by a mutual fund in india earlier this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe1ouTfo2sY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxryv2XrnqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt_SHouAKKA#t=1m45s The j-core project is a separate fully open source entity, but there's some serious resource contention going on right now staffing-wise. Sorry about that. Make of that what you will, but I tend to believe Rob. He has a good track record on deliverables. (You might know Toybox, Rob & friends' answer to BusyBox, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toybox . Rob and Bruce Perens used to work together on BusyBox, but had some sort of falling out. https://lwn.net/Articles/202120/ No offence whatsoever intended to either of these good gentlemen.) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
