[Xenomai-core] Xenomai v2.0

[Xenomai-core] Xenomai v2.0

[Philippe Gerum]

The first stable release of the former "fusion" effort is now available for 
download. I have not much more to say, except to thank to everyone involved with 
this tireless work since 2001. v2.0 is an important milestone in the life of 
this project, and as such, it paves the way to the seamlessly integrated 
real-time framework for Linux we strive at building.

The development effort is continuing according to the partial roadmap posted 
earlier on the Xenomai-core mailing list [1]. Minor revisions of this release 
starting at 2.0.1 will be issued in parallel to the work on the next 2.1 version.

Time to make some noise, I guess ;): What about an article at
LinuxDevices e.g.? Further suggestions? Once there are some text modules
they could easily be reused...

But before starting: should we wait for the new website? When will it
likely be finished?

Freshmeat entry still points to RTAI.

 I should be finished by the end of the week, well at least something
acceptable for xenomai.org <http://xenomai.org/> to be redirected. More
content (public FAQ, technical articles, short install guide etc.) should
follow.
A preview is already online on gna:
http://snail.fsffrance.org/www.xenomai.org/index.php
 PS: the main picture should be changed to something more appropriate for
the project in the near future. Just need to find a good designer to help me
doing that. Xenomai logos (in several sizes) will also be published on the
website in case you want to use it for some articles or presentations.
 Feel free to send me your comments if any but don't forget it is just a
preview with a bunch of stuff missing.

Looks great! To have everything in one place, maybe Adeos website 
content could somehow be integrated on this site(?)

Yea, very nice. And it has a clearer menu structure than the old new
rtai site, i.e. only one menu. ;)

The logo looks nice - who's the designer? Shouldn't (s)he work out the
image as well...?

Some further potential items of interest for the menu or sub-pages (no
particular ordering):

- Documentation (link to the pdf folder or, even better, a page listing
                 the available docs)
- Download      (obvious)
- SVN           (quick access to checkout instructions and the viewer)
- Cross-Ref     (our service for browing the code, may also be
                 migrated and adapted to the page design, an update of
                 the lxr engine could also be considered - I could try
                 to have a look)
- Roadmap       (what's scheduled for the near- and long-term, ok, this
                 will need maintenance...)

Looking forward to the final site release!

I designed the logo. After a couple of beers I got inspired but I would need
to drink too much to obtain the same result with the image :)
More seriously, I already know someone that can help for the banner. The
thing is more to find the ideas about the content of this picture. It'll
take a bit of time to come to maturity. I'm going to concentrate on the
content until there :)

OK thanks I take that into account.

Then try to smoke some funny stuff instead. ;)

As only one source of inspiration: I liked the logo some designer
created for our Linux Automation conference (see
http://www.linux-automation.de/konferenz). Reflects at least one
application domain of Xenomai. Including some penguins might also be
worth considering.

What about a penguin jumping out of a cuckoo clock ;-)

Cheers,

LWN ? /.?

I would argue in favor of waiting for the new website. The current
xemai.org
portal is a bit, well, rough for newcomers :-)
