Welcome to LinuxDevices.com. . . your embedded Linux resource

Mission

LinuxDevices.com is an independent online meeting place and technical news site for the Embedded Linux community. The focus of the site is to advance the use of the Linux operating system within devices and embedded systems, while educating developers about Embedded Linux and related technologies. Editorial content features coverage of what's happening and what's upcoming in software, hardware, platforms, tools, and design efforts that affect the Embedded Linux community.

History

LinuxDevices.com was founded in 1999 by Rick Lehrbaum. A co-founder and long-time CTO of embedded board company Ampro, Lehrbaum is perhaps best-known for his work defining and promoting PC/104, a compact PC-compatible module standard that takes its name from its self-stacking 104-pin pin-and-socket bus. Lehrbaum's entire family of sites--including LinuxDevices, DesktopLinux, and WindowsForDevices -- came under the Ziff Davis Enterprise umbrella in 2004. Lehrbaum has since left to pursue other professional, personal, and recreational interests, and maintains an interesting blog at DeviceGuru.com.

Audience

LinuxDevices.com is aimed at hardware, software, and system engineers; technical decision makers including engineering and project managers; and CxOs charged with guiding the technology strategy of their respective companies.

Editorial content

LinuxDevices.com generates exclusive, staff-written content concentrating primarily on the world of Embedded Linux. As well, it offers exclusive content created by individuals and companies in the Embedded Linux market, and aggregates pointers to selected content from other world-class news organizations.

The site's editor-in-chief is Jonathan Angel, who has worked as a tech journalist since the early 80s both in the U.S. and U.K., contributing to such titles as Byte, DBMS, Fortune, InfoWorld, LAN Technology, LAN Times, PC Computing, PC World, and Windows magazine. He has authored or co-authored related books including How Local Area Networks Work, RealMedia Complete, The Little Quicken Book, and Web Publisher's Construction Kit With Netscape Plug-Ins.

Eric Brown is LinuxDevices.com's primary reporter. Brown is a former senior editor at PC World and a regular contributor to MIT Technology Insider. He also wrote That’s Edutainment, a 1995 book about kid's educational software. Like Angel, he is committed to maintaining the high technical and news reporting standards established by Lehrbaum.

Coverage by LinuxDevices.com includes news, articles, polls, and discussion forums -- all primarily focused on using Linux in a wide range of mobile and embedded devices and applications.
