To make a long story short, it started with buildroot 2 in 2005 as I
joined the OpenWrt project. I started working on porting the Linksys
Kernel differences to a new 2.4.x kernel.
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/openwrt/package/linux?rev=209

In June 2006 I forked OpenWrt and started with FreeWRT.

In Juli 2007 I left the FreeWRT project for personal reasons.
In the middle of 2008 I started to work on a new project called
OpenADK, which based on FreeWRT svn. In May 2009 I started using
Git. 

I am still hacking on embedded Linux systems for fun. At the moment
I like to write some documentation about OpenADK, and the buildroot
docs seems to be a perfect start.

There are a lot of differences between buildroot and OpenADK, I will
add a chapter about it in the planned manual.

best regards,
 Waldemar
