How does Red Hat expect to reach consensus for EL/IX and create a standard?
The industry is looking for an embedded Linux solution, and our partners in the embedded industry have requested one from us. Red Hat is renowned for leading the market in embracing and supporting open source standards with its Red Hat Linux product. The incorporation of Cygnus Solutions has brought Red Hat over ten years of leadership experience in open source technologies, including a record of successfully supporting open source standards, such as GCC, while maintaining and involving the community at large. By making EL/IX open source and creating a consortium that uses an open source, community approach (similar to the GCC distribution from the Free Software Foundation), Red Hat is ensuring that the development of EL/IX is an inclusive process that encourages participation at both the corporate and individual level.
