The next regular monthly meeting of the DLSLUG will be held:
Thursday, August 3rd, 7-9PM
at: Dartmouth College, Carson Hall, Room TBA
All are welcome, free of charge.
Agenda
7:00 Sign-in, networking
7:15 Introductory remarks
7:20 "Taking Open Source, Enterprise-Class applications
off the desktop and into the Field"
Presented by Thomas Hall
Technical Account Manager, Wind River System
There are many compelling reasons to adopt Open Source
applications for the desktop; one asks... Why stop there?
Well, turns out there are significant technical hurdles to
overcome minimal resources - successfully scaling powerful
Open Source applications like Apache and MySQL into a
handheld device requires Linux development and testing
tools well beyond printf.
However, while the groundswell of interest in the Linux
OS has resulted in highly stable, mature kernels, this
interest has not yet translated into commercial-quality
Public Domain development tools. While it is comforting
to have a ubiquitous technology like GDB available, one
wants to further draw on best-in-class tools and paradigms
that have been developed in the commercial software
development space.
Wind River Systems will present on this topic and demonstrate
the Eclipse-based Workbench IDE and Platform for Consumer
Device, Linux Edition. As time permits, several commercially
available products will be demonstrated running Wind River
Linux.
8:30 Roundtable Exchange - where the attendees can make
announcements or ask a linux question of the group.
Please see the website for links to directions.
If any area companies are interested in sponsoring refreshments, please
let me know.
Please RSVP so we can give a theoretical refreshment sponsor a
headcount.
