We're happy to promote this one - a SHARE SIG on-line event. The organisation's slogan is 'Improving European Embedded System Industry through Open Source SW Sharing'.

On the 22nd of March 2010, at 11 (GMT +1) it will be hosting the 'Open Source Software and enterprises: the Bellagio story'. The main speaker is Giulio Urlini from STMicroelectronics, and the abstract is:
Big enterprise environments have well established software processes in place, usually based on commercial EDA and versioning tools which utilization is characterized by strict adherence to strong internal quality policy requirements.

In this scenario, the embracement of the Open Source Software model has naturally implied some resistance from all internal stakeholders, as no evident commercial exploitation and source code control are envisaged. On the contrary, the Open Source Software Model has traditionally been deemed as a threat, being a potential and dangerous vehicle for strategic Intellectual Property blocks leakage.

The Advanced System Technology division of STMicroelectronics has pioneered the adoption and the exploitation of OSS software work flow within the company. The Bellagio project, hosted on the well known Sourceforce.net collaborative site, is an Open Source implementation of the OpenMAX Integration Layer standard defined by the Khronos group, which STM is a committed member of.
For more details, see the SHARE website

SHARE is funded under the ICT Theme of the Seventh Framework Programme and brings together 8 partners including universities and companies from 3 European countries (Italy, Spain, UK), coordinated by Mr. Massimo Loffreda from SESM (Finmeccanica Group).

It is now running its second year of work aimed to facilitate Open Source Software code sharing and utilisation within the embedded system domain.

The focus of the project is on:
  • Middleware for near real time and mission critical applications
  • Middleware for nomadic, multimedia, networked applications
  • Middleware for e-health applications

Hans Juergen Rauscher
Hans Juergen RauscherHans Juergen Rauscher is one of Wind River's most experienced Systems Architects. Based in the 'Munich' office in Ismaning, he joined Wind River in 2000 to work with some of the best-known telecoms and networking brands in the world, helping to integrate Wind River Linux for Carrier Grade applications, his main area of expertise within Open Source. 'HJ', as he is inevitably called by his English colleagues, is a keen writer and an avid motorsports addict - as anyone who's survived being driven by him will attest to.

Richard Danter
Richard DanterRichard, of Wind River, has been in the embedded software industry since leaving University in 1994. He worked at a major electronics manufacturer developing set-top boxes for Digital Satellites, focusing on Board Support Packages and Device Drivers for the pSOS+ Real-Time OS. He joined EST Corp, a JTAG tools company in 1999, before it was acquired by Wind River. He now participates in presenting Wind River Linux training courses.

One of Richard's main claims to fame is a series of U-Boot ports to various boards. Richard has used and explored Linux since 1996. He lives on the south coast. Besides 'anything Linux', Richard lists photography among his interests and took the self-portrait you see here!

Mark Day
Mark DayMark Day is Wind River's youngest Technical Account Manager. He joined Wind River at just 24 in 2007 to work with some of Europe's top robotics and telecoms manufacturers, integrating customised open-source packages and providing customer service to tailor Wind River Linux and VxWorks to customer specs. Mark also demonstrates Wind River Linux to device design teams that are considering going Open Source in their next project. Plus he's unstoppable on the rugby pitch!
