Growing The Community
Published. June 21, 2017

How can you grow an open source community? Two blog posts from The Document Foundation (TDF) illustrate a proven double-ended strategy to sustain an existing community. Since it was established in 2010, the LibreOffice project has steadily grown under the guidance of The Document Foundation (TDF) where I’ve been a volunteer — most lately as a member of its Board. Starting from a complex political situation with a legacy codebase suffering extensive technical debt, TDF has been able to cultivate...

Bluetooth 5: Making Your Smart Home a Reality
Published. December 5, 2016

We all know the futuristic vision of the world just around the corner. The vision where we tell our smart home that we’ve just left work at the end of a long day, and we’re heading home. Our home then tells the thermostat to warm up or cool down, lights to turn on, and the oven to start baking the lasagna we left in it that morning. We arrive to a warm, brightly lit home, and hot, freshly cooked food. You’ve got the vision, but do you have any idea how many connectivity and networking...

Xilinx SoC FPGAs Ideal Fit For OVM and MDV
Published. June 24, 2009

Processor-based FPGAs represent 40% of all the design starts today and will rise to > 50% in 2011 (Gartner, March 2009). In the same time period, the number of ASIC-based SoC starts is about an order of magnitude smaller. Sure, many of the FPGA starts use 8-bit processors and have a small amount of logic, but the high-end SoCs -- represented by product families such as the Xilinx(R) Virtex(R)-6 and Spartan(R)-6 -- are growing fast. That is exactly the type of design we've targeted with the...
