We discussed it yesterday on IRC, and nobody disagreed as long as this doesn't start happening very often. Looking at http://www.roku.com/opensource, they do use Buildroot (but unfortunately quite old versions, hopefully this person they are seeking can improve that). Deeann had some issues mailing the list, so I'm forwarding it here: Open Source Software Engineer The Role and Responsibilities: Roku is seeking a qualified and versatile Open Source Software Engineer with the drive to succeed in a fast paced and dynamic environment.
