Join us at LinuxWorld in the Wind River Developer Day to learn more about embedded Linux platforms, embedded technology, development tools, and solutions. Learn why developers have rapidly embraced Linux as the platform of choice for embedded device development. Find out about new and emerging technologies in embedded Linux, that are key for critical application enablement. Understand how the available open-source solutions for hard real-time, advanced networking, or small footprint and fast boot-time features can be employed to make your device development vision into reality.

If you're a system administrator or IT manager, you often get called on for "the quick hack" -- making something work using scripting languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, or PHP (to name a few). You're not building whole applications, but you're building things of significance that *just work.* These sessions will give you the tools you need and some tricks of the trade -- all aimed at getting you from start to finish successfully and quickly.

Yes, we have the source code, yes we have peer review, yes we have patch
management, yet we still see systems getting cracked on Linux and other
OpenSource platforms. This track will look at what we as implementers
of technology need to keep on top of to really improve our state of
security. From the OS to the applications, it's the whole view.

People don't remember you for all the stuff that just worked right away. The difference between a real
IT guru and a gofer with the root password is the ability to make broken systems work, under pressure.
This track will cover essential knowledge and tools, including profiling, management software, auditing,
and log analysis -- so that you won't just fix it but understand what you did so it won't happen again.

Every IT department is confronted with the prospect of hundreds of different technologies, all with varying degrees of effectiveness, and all with varying degrees of compatibility with any given platform,
application, or service. The server platforms of choice have gradually dwindled to a choice between Linux, Windows, and Solaris, with a smattering of BSD flavors, AIX, and HP/UX. With this reduction in
platform choice, one might think that this makes the life of IT personnel easier, yet the opposite is true. An explosion of open source middleware, services and applications have introduced a dizzying array
of new choices and permutations. While this has certainly shifted more decision-making power towards the IT customer, it has also led to the implementation of too many untested configurations and subtle
incompatibilities that lead to larger headaches over time.
This track examines the basis for IT best practices and how to avoid the gotchas of interoperability woes. For the most part, this means exploring ways to institute better interoperability between Linux and Windows, along with some education on using Linux alongside Unix-derived systems.
