FLUX December Meeting Announcement


DATE: Thursday December 14, 2006

TIME: 6:30pm Refreshments & Networking, presentation begins 7:00pm

LOCATION:  Nova Southeastern University, our usual room (see flux.org)

TOPIC:  Software development for mobile phones!

SPEAKER:  Rob Lembree, very long-time Unix/Linux guru from New Hampshire!


This is not a commercial talk.  Rob helps run a Linux user group in
New Hampshire, and works with mobile phone technology.  He happens to
be in town the evening of our meeting and has agreed to share a unique
look into this growing part of the software industry.  Here's more
information from Rob...


    Rob Lembree from JumpShift, LLC in Nashua, NH will discuss the
components and processes involved in the development of a modern
mobile phone, from the processors and radios to the operating system
technology, middleware and applications that bring the package
together.  He will also discuss the peculiarities of the mobile
industry that make bringing a handset to market a unique challenge.

    Rob will also talk about phoneME, the new open source Java project
sponsored by Sun Microsystems based on the newly-GPL licensed Java
Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME).

    Rob will bring lots of mobile platforms with him in various states
of completion for show and tell.

    Rob has two decades of experience in operating system technology,
many of it in the embedded computing space, with three and a half
years applying this experience to the mobile platform industry.  When
Rob grows up, he'd like to start a research and development company,
hire smart people, and develop cool stuff that scares the heck out of
big companies.


MARK YOUR CALENDAR!  SEE YOU DECEMBER 14th AT NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY!
