[R-engine-developers] R-Engine developers list

[Doug S. <dsc...@ci...>]

Hi Felix,
    I made the r-engine list a closed list that doesn't get archived
    in case we started talking about things that broke the Fujitsu
    NDA.

    An unfortunate side-effect of this is that people have to explicitly
    join this list rather than browse past archives.

    I'm copying this to the other three members of the developer
    group in case they would like to join this closed list. Maybe
    it was a mistake to make it a closed list... dunno.

    BTW, I've been in touch with Miguel Estevez (who is very
    busy just now) and he says he'll be sending me some more
    info on the chip since the NDA docs don't seem to cover
    how to send the serial command protocol to the chip or
    how to read the images. He's also stopped giving out the
    NDA docs as he was getting overwhelmed with the
    requests... he says he'll come up with some other, better
    mechanism.

    I also sent an email to the newly formed CE Linux Forum:

    http://www.celinuxforum.org

    Which is a new group set up by Sony and others to promote
    linux on consumer electronics devices. I got a response from
    their executive director saying that he will do his best to get
    us some contacts within Sony.

    I'll post when I have any updates.

    P.S. please let me know if you think it's a bad idea to have
    a closed list. Also, anyone requesting membership should
    have signed the NDA unless we decide to open the list.

    Cheers...
