[ANNOUNCE] CELF open project proposal

[Tim Bird <tim.bird@am.sony.com>]

Hey embedded Linux developers...

Are you itching to see some feature developed for embedded
Linux?  Would you like to suggest that CELF spend their
money on some specific project?  Would you like CELF to
sponsor a project you are working on?

Well, now is your chance!  This is the official announcement
of a new plan by CELF, called the "Open Project Proposal".

The CELF Open Project Proposal is a process whereby members
of the public submit to the CE Linux Forum ideas and
proposals for projects that they think should be worked on
to enhance embedded Linux.  The plan is to solicit ideas for
our 2010 contract work projects. Areas of work can
include the Linux kernel, graphics systems, toolchain work,
or anything else that will help enhance Linux for use in
embedded systems.

Each year, CELF spends money on contract work to improve
Linux for use in embedded systems. Some of the projects we
have sponsored in the past include Linux-tiny, DirectFB
enhancements, smem, and Squashfs mainlining.

Usually, our process involves querying forum members about
their desires and building a project list from that. This
year, we are opening up the process and asking for your ideas
and proposals as well.

Proposal are welcome immediately...

Thanks,
 -- Tim
