Perhaps I should have been clearer about my plans for this survey! My
research arises from some blue sky thinking about how open source
communities select and use embedded development tools. Assuming
sufficient participation in the survey, I'm intending to write an
article on this topic. FYI, I have requested the support of the eCos,
FreeRTOS and RTEMS communities in the research. I have received a good
response from all 3 communities so far.
I hope this helps to allay your concerns...
