The Meld Community
What Is Meld?
• A community empowering embedded Linux
• A meeting place for systems engineers, ISVs, developers, and hardware and software manufacturers
• A forum to connect with like-minded people to share information, ideas, designs, and solutions
Unlike search-engine-driven development, collaborating directly with other individuals greatly increases the likelihood of finding the right answer the first time.

Future: What Developers Need
• Meld grows organically, cultured by its members
• Alignment with other communities:• Hardware-based communities (e.g., OMAP, PowerPC)
• Embedded communities
• Linux communities (e.g., linux.com)
• Embedded Linux (elinux.org, other wikis and communities)
• Our commitment: helping embedded Linux engineers to Connect, Share, and Design collaboratively
