Yocto-Compliant Enea Linux Reaches Version 2.0 (Linux.com) Linux.com has a
quick look at Enea Linux 2.0, an embedded distribution based on Yocto. " Enea's Light-Weight Runtime Threads (LWRT) technology, for instance,
offers improved real-time characteristics in Linux user-space, delivering
scheduling, message passing, and resource management functionality. The
result is that applications can run with improved determinism and minimal
overhead, thus addressing some commonly held concerns about traditional
Linux solutions." | | 5:55p |

[$] Tent pitches a new social networking protocol The free software community produces a constant stream of ideas about
how to displace the proprietary network services that dominate so much
online interaction. In mid-2012, Tent became the
latest entrant in the conversation, heralding an "open,
decentralized, and built for the future" social networking
solution that "changes everything." Beyond the
project's manifesto, however,
there was scant detail, particularly on how Tent related to other
distributed social networking efforts like OStatus, the protocol used by StatusNet
and Identi.ca. September 21 brought the
first look at something more concrete, courtesy of a reference Tent
server and initial documentation of the system's protocols. |
