All, I'm writing a blog on Linaro's reorganisation (sounds fascinating
doesn't
it?). I'm more talking about directions than teams etc, it's not a
list of
groups / SIGs etc. One area I'd like to highlight is the importance of
EBBR
to LEDGE (aka Fog and Networking). Some thoughts / questions:
[1] do others believe that EBBR is key to Fog / Edge? I'm less convinced that Device land will see the push (their is a symbiotic link between gateways and devices, with gateways being the 'point of security' for
their
'slave' devices).
I think it's likely useful to fog/edge but not critical, it will depend a lot on the size of the device. In the arm space it'll be either EBBR or SBBR/SBSA, either way standardisation will be good.
Well, people misuse the term 'gateway' wildly from tiny bridge devices to grown up things. It will be uneven, but the push will come. Weaker than the data center.
[2] EBBR et al is complex, so moving down the reference platform route
makes
sense (to me at least). I know that reference platforms created a lot of debate in Linaro in LEG, but I think that has settled down now, with everyone understanding what they are and are not and where the value is.
[3] I presume the best way to reference EBBR is via the git repository.
Any
other information I should reference (email lists etc)?
Yes, I would reference the githib pages [1], we should add things like details of the mailing list into the README/wiki there so there's one spot to reference for everything.
Yes, that's the hub for everything...
