CE Workgroup Projects - LinuxCon Japan 2015

The following projects are being presented by the CE Workgroup at LinuxCon Japan 2015

Please come by our booth to talk to CE Workgroup representatives about these projects. Our booth is located just outside the keynote hall.

LTSI Test Project

 * An Open-source test framework for the LTSI kernel
 * See the presentation [[Media:LTSI-_Latest_Status_and_Kernel_Testing.pdf|"LTSI: Latest Status and Kernel Testing"]] from ELC 2015
 * See project details at: http://ltsi.linuxfoundation.org/ltsi-test-project
 * Code for the test framework can be downloaded from: https://bitbucket.org/cogentembedded/jta-public/

Shared Embedded Linux Distribution

 * This is a project to use Debian packages with the Yocto Project
 * Goal is to share the work of maintaining long-term support for an embedded distribution, by leveraging the work of the Debian project
 * The elinux page for this project is: Shared Embedded Linux Distribution
 * See [[Media:Poky_meets_Debian_Understanding_How_to_Make_an_Embedded_Linux_by_Using_an_Existing_Distribution%27s_Source_Code.pdf|"Poky meets Debian: Understanding How to Make an Embedded Linux by Using an Existing Distribution's Source Code"]] talk at ELC 2015 by Yoshitake Kobayashi

Device Mainlining Project

 * This project aims to reduce the amount of out-of-tree code for Consumer Electronics projects (particularly mobile devices)
 * Research shows that, on average, a mobile product based on Linux and Android has about 2 million lines of code out-of-mainline
 * The main web page for this project is: CE Workgroup Device Mainlining Project
 * Key activities include:
 * Promotion of best practices for corporate guidance (e.g. the white paper)
 * Collection and organization of links to mainlining tutorials and training materials
 * Development of tools and information to assist companies with mainlining-related tasks
 * Mainlining status analysis tools (see https://github.com/tbird20d/upstream-analysis-tools)
 * Quantification of costs associated with out-of-tree code
 * Providing assistance for upstream maintainers
 * The new [[Media:Overcoming-Obstacles-to-Mainlining-White-Paper-version-0.9.pdf|"Overcoming Obstacles to Mainlining" white paper]] is published at LinuxCon Japan 2015 (June 3, 2015)
 * Based on the presentation [[Media:Overcoming_Obstacles_to_Contributing_to_Linux.pdf|"Overcoming Obstacles to Contributing to Linux"]] presented at ELC 2015 by Tim Bird

Linux in Infrastructure

 * This project aims to address requiremens for using Linux in civil and societal infrastructure projects
 * Presentation material is available at the following.
 * [[Media:Applying Linux to the Civil Infrastructure-LinuxCon Japan 2015.pdf|"Applying Linux to the Civil Infrastructure"]]

eLinux wiki

 * The CE Workgroup continues to support this wiki, which has lots of information valuable to embedded Linux developers
 * This includes technical presentations from the last 10 years of Embedded Linux Conference events, as well as wiki pages for lots of technical areas and CEWG's projects
