Subject: EVENT March 26, 2004: Books for Iraq
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, March 8, 2004
BookCrossing.com, Freedom Technology Center to Host
"Books for Iraq" Event
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- BookCrossing.com and the Freedom
Technology Center are teaming up to help jump-start
Iraq's recovery with computer book donations.
Linux and open-source software enthusiasts will meet
at Mountain View's Freedom Technology Center all
day Friday, March 26 to pack and ship badly-needed
computer books to the new Linux Users Group (LUG)
of Iraq. The event is sponsored by BookCrossing.com,
a leading Internet community for book readers and
book releasers.
"We need all kinds of computer books," said Ashraf
T. Hasson, co-founder of the new Linux Users Group
of Iraq. The group is establishing a Linux Center
in Baghdad to conduct training in all levels of
Linux usage, administration and development. Today
in Baghdad, up-to-date PC hardware and all software
are readily available, but computer books are not.
Iraq's growing population of Linux users need all
kinds of computer books, not just Linux-specific ones.
The Freedom Technology Center and BookCrossing.com
will handle the packing and shipping, and invite
supporters to simply bring a favorite technical
book. Donors can pre-register their book at
BookCrossing.com's website, and track the book's
journey as it travels among the emerging high-tech
circles in Iraq.
Books will be accepted from 9am to midnight. From
7pm to midnight, the Freedom Technology Center will
serve pizza and provide demonstrations of its new
Linux-based information technology training lab.
About the Freedom Technology Center
The Freedom Technology Center is a new non-profit IT
training facility located in downtown Mountain View,
California. Upcoming classes include an enterprise
Samba class to be taught by Samba developer John H.
Terpstra and a series of Linux administration
classes to be taught by noted author and consultant
Jim Dennis.
About BookCrossing.com
BookCrossing is the act of releasing books "into
the wild" and then following their journeys and the
lives they touch. BookCrossing.com is the website
that makes it all possible. The site has more than
200,000 registered users and tracks more than 880,000
books. Join Today!

Subject: McObject and SYSGO Join Proven In-memory Database With Powerful Embedded Linux
Issaquah, WA-March 8, 2004-McObject, developer of the eXtremeDB in-memory
embedded database, has teamed with German embedded systems innovator SYSGO
to offer a feature-rich, cost-efficient development package for embedded
Linux applications.
The companies will bundle a development copy of McObject's eXtremeDB-XML
Shared Memory Edition for x86 targets, including reference applications,
with SYSGO's ELinOS Basic Toolbox for embedded Linux. In this single
package, developers have the tools-including graphical configuration
environment, embedded Linux distribution with real-time extensions, a
proven, XML-enabled real-time database and much more-to build
industrial-grade, data-intensive embedded Linux software systems.
The bundle is priced at 929.00 EURO (about US$1,175.00). In addition, the
companies announced they will include eXtremeDB evaluation software with the
ELinOS Development Kit, which offers additional advanced features for
embedded Linux development.
The eXtremeDB-ELinOS bundle builds on both companies' proven product
development track records and their growing base of satisfied, often
well-known customers.
With its graphic configuration tool ELK, ready-made boot loaders and cross
development environments for all current CPUs, ELinOS promotes economical
software for intelligent devices. ELinOS both reduces the resource
requirements of Linux and extends its real-time capabilities, making this
the logical starting point for industrial customers who are expanding their
use of embedded Linux or using it for the first time.
SYSGO's ELinOS customers include VDO Dayton for car infotainment, Rohde &
Schwarz for its Protocol Tester, and Honeywell Building Automation.
With eXtremeDB, McObject offers a new type of database to meet the unique
performance requirements and resource constraints of intelligent, connected
devices. With a footprint of 100K or less, eXtremeDB spares RAM and CPU
resources while delivering critical data management features. As an
all-in-memory database with a streamlined architecture, eXtremeDB delivers
instant responsiveness that complements SYSGO's real-time Linux.
And like ELinOS, eXtremeDB provides sophisticated developer tools. Features
include support for varied data and query types, and a powerful debugging
environment with a self-diagnostic API that catches a wide range of common
programming errors before they slip into runtime code. McObject customers
include Genesis Microchip, which uses eXtremeDB in digital TV embedded
software, and Boeing, which recently chose eXtremeDB High Availability for
R&D-stage enhancements to its AH-64D Apache Longbow combat helicopter.
"McObject is pleased to be working with SYSGO to add reliable, real-time
data management to the solid ELinOS embedded application development
foundation," said Steve Graves, McObject co-founder and CEO. "Both companies
believe in making developers' lives easier and are committed to helping
customers create groundbreaking embedded software while accelerating
time-to-market. These shared traits bode well for our future successful
working relationship."
"To add McObject's eXtremeDB is another building block for our powerful
embedded Linux development environment ELinOS," Knut Degen, CEO of SYSGO,
said. "ELinOS provides a full IDE and has all the tools on board to help
developers to easily build their embedded devices."
