This is our normal monthly meeting at the normal scheduled time and place. 
Yes, that's less than a week away and some of you just came to a meeting
last night.

How did LinuxDevices.com and the Embedded Linux Consortium come
to be?
  What plethora of devices  have come (and gone) in the
  embedded Linux world, and what's expected in the future?
  And embedded Linux's "Holy Grail": a unified technical
  specification.

  Murry Shohat helped organized the Embedded Linux
  Consortium and serves as Executive Director, trade show
  manager, and janitor.  Murry has enjoyed working as both
  a technology journalist covering Silicon Valley and as a
  marketing consultant, helping young and mature firms
  introduce new projects. His background is concentrated in
  embedded computing

  Rick Lehrbaum is the founder and executive editor of the
  LinuxDevices.com "embedded Linux portal," which is widely
  associated as the foremost resource for Embedded Linux
  related news and information.  Rick has worked in the
  field of embedded systems since 1979.  He co-founded
  Ampro Computers, founded the PC/104 Consortium, and was
  instrumental in creating the ELC.
