I am more interested in embedded FLOSS as well.
I volunteer to be one of your myrmidons.
I would like to expand the charter of CLUE to engulf FLOSS / POSH.
( sounds good ==> BeagleBoard, Arduino, Atmel (AVR), Angstrom,
Yocto, Linaro, kernel dudes, compiler dudes and the Crosstool-NG dude,
Buildroot and Das U-Boot, etc. )
