There were 2 abstentions and 12 invalid ballots. For a group to pass, YES votes must be at least 2/3 of all valid (YES and NO) votes. There must also be at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes. A five day discussion period follows this announcement. If no serious allegations of voting irregularities are raised, the moderator of news.announce.newgroups will create the group shortly thereafter. Newsgroups line: comp.os.linux.embedded Linux operating system on embedded hardware. Voting closed at 23:59:59 UTC, 22 Jun 2000. This vote was conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent. Proponent: John Peterson Mentor: Jonathan Grobe Votetaker: Dave Cornejo RATIONALE: comp.os.linux.embedded It is becoming apparent that the Linux operating system has a very bright future in the area of embedded applications; internet appliances, wireless internet access, personal digital assistants, television set top boxes, medical instruments, dedicated control systems, etc. The potential for the growth of Linux in this area is highlighted by the fact that roughly 95% of all newly manufactured microcomputer chips are used for embedded applications. Industry has already embraced Linux for use in embedded applications for several reasons. The cost of licensing a commercial operating system and the power of the open source development model are some of the more prominent ones. The TiVo personal video recorder, and the Empeg MP3 car player are two examples of consumer products that utilize embedded Linux. Samsung has recently announced plans to market the world's first Linux based PDA, named Yopy. Sony already uses Linux based systems for developing applications for it's Playstation2 game machine. The industry has further demonstrated it's commitment to Linux by the recent announcement of the formation of the Embedded Linux Consortium (ELC). It will consist of roughly 50 member companies including IBM, Lineo, Motorola and Red Hat. Linux development has historically been oriented toward desktop and server applications and the current comp.os.linux.* hierarchy largely reflects this heritage. The unique nature of the technical issues of using Linux for embedded applications, and the potential for enormous growth are the two main reasons for the proposal of this new Usenet newsgroup. There will be some overlap of the charter of the proposed group with that of the existing comp.os.linux.portable newsgroup (using the Linux OS on portable computers). This is unavoidable since some embedded devices are designed with the intent to provide portable computing resources of a rather general nature (PDAs for example). However, the universe of embedded devices that would not be classified as a portable computer is very large (e.g. TV set top boxes, medical instruments). It is the contention of the proponent that the proposed group is sufficiently disjoint from the existing comp.os.linux.portable newsgroup that the efficiency and viability of both groups would not be negatively impacted. Topics related to the use of Linux on embedded processors are already frequently discussed in several existing Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists. Statistics for such postings during the period >from Jan 1, 2000 to Jan 31, 2000 are shown in the table below.

Topics considered appropriate for posting to the group might include (but are not limited to); o Software Related Topics + Embedded Linux distributions (e.g. Lineo Embedix, Mobile Linux) + Software APIs for embedded Linux development (e.g. Cygnus EL/IX) + Development of user applications for embedded Linux + Integrated Development Environments for embedded Linux o Hardware Related Topics + Linux based emulators and debuggers for embedded hardware + Existing Linux support for specific hardware + Development of device drivers for embedded Linux Topics that might appear welcome on the surface, but in fact are not include; general questions about embedded hardware with no reference to Linux, questions about embedded or real time programming that are not specific to Linux, such as "What is multithreading?", or "What is a deadlock?", etc. One time postings of commercial product announcements or postings of a commercial nature that are replies to another posted inquiry will be considered appropriate. However, as in most other Usenet groups, repeated or indiscriminant posting of commercial advertisements will be prohibited. Postings using MIME, HTML formats are discouraged since many Usenet readers do not use web browsers. The posting of source code and binaries for the purpose of distribution shall be prohibited. However, a small snippet of source code or a small patch would be considered acceptable. END CHARTER.
