 ==== Major Activities ==== ==== Major Activities ====
- * **Open Project Contract Work**: Each year, the Core Embedded Linux Project spends money on contract work to improve Linux for use in embedded systems. Some of projects that the Core Embedded Linux Project has sponsored in the past include Linux-tiny, DirectFB enhancement,​ smem, U-boot and kexecboot improvements,​ and Squashfs and YAFFS mainlining. ​ The process is open to the public, and members of the public submit to the Core Embedded Linux Project ideas and proposals for project that they think should be worked on to enhance embedded Linux. ​ For more detail about proposal format, contact, and deadline, please visit Embedded Linux Wiki. - http://​elinux.org/​CEWG_Open_Project_Proposals.+  ​* **Open Project Contract Work**: Each year, the Core Embedded Linux Project spends money on contract work to improve Linux for use in embedded systems.

- * **Long Term Support Initiative (LTSI)**: To minimize fragmented use of Linux in embedded systems, and accelerate further innovation of Linux by incorporating innovations from embedded system engineers, the Core Embedded Linux Project sponsors the LTSI project.This project consists of publishing a kernel source tree, based on the community'​s long-term stable tree, and maintaining it with back-ported features and innovations which are beneficial for the embedded industry. ​ The life of the community'​s long-term stable tree is expected to be 2 years, and that of the long-term industry tree is expected to be 2-3 years – which corresponds to the typical life of consumer electronics products like Smartphones. For more detail, please visit LTSI web site.+  ​* **Long Term Support Initiative (LTSI)**: To minimize fragmented use of Linux in embedded systems, and accelerate further innovation of Linux by incorporating innovations from embedded system engineers, the Core Embedded Linux Project sponsors the LTSI project.This project consists of publishing a kernel source tree, based on the community'​s long-term stable tree, and maintaining it with back-ported features and innovations which are beneficial for the embedded industry. ​ The life of the community'​s long-term stable tree is expected to be 2 years, and that of the long-term industry tree is expected to be 2-3 years – which corresponds to the typical life of consumer electronics products like Smartphones.

 +    * **Fuego Test Framework**:​ Originating in the LTSI project, the mission of the Fuego project is create an easy-to-use test framework, suitable for testing embedded Linux kernels, distributions,​ and products. See the [[http://​bird.org/​fuego/​FrontPage|Fuego home page]] for more information.
  
- * **Regional Technical Conference (Jamboree)**:​ The Core Embedded Linux Project hosts a series of regional technical conferences,​ called technical jamborees, in Japan. The jamborees are not formal technical conferences,​ but an informal meeting to exchange ideas and discuss technologies freely in an open source community manner. ​ For information about the date and location of upcoming Jamborees, please visit Embedded Linux Wiki.+  ​* **Regional Technical Conference (Jamboree)**:​ The Core Embedded Linux Project hosts a series of regional technical conferences,​ called technical jamborees, in Japan.

- * **Embedded Linux Developer wiki** (aka. Elinux wiki): The elinux wiki, at http://​elinux.org,​ is maintained by the Core Embedded Linux Project, and serves as a collection point for information for embedded Linux developers. ​ This site is open to public contributions and editing, and is a resource for the entire embedded Linux community. ​ Several development boards have significant information on the site.  There are articles and links to many resources for a wide variety of technical topics.+  ​* **Embedded Linux Developer wiki** (aka.
