Wookey Software EngineerARM

Background

Wookey has been doing this stuff for a while, first working on ARM in 1993 (Acorn RISC OS co-processors), then the Debian Arm port in 2000, and Embedded Debian since 2002. He has been project lead since 2004 despite a history of other people doing all the heavy lifting. His expertise is in low-level stuff and distribution-level stuff. Definately nothing with objects in it. So that's NAND flash (having helped bring YAFFS into existence), Open Hardware (licensing, promotion and production) starting with the LART, then Balloon2 and 3, jtagging, bootloaders, kernel, cross-building and toolchains, building distros (Risc PC, Psion Netbook, Psion5, Balloon, with Debian, OE, Emdebian, Buildroot), Debian packaging and metadata. Recently he has been spending time on the intersection of Free Software and Domotics, particularly energy management and building design.
