| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:34:43 BST] <xxxx> Hello, dropping here a few more technical info about Azure IoT Device Management, and Windows 10 IoT Core Services | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:34:50 BST] | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:34:59 BST] <schestowitz> cheers | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:35:17 BST] <xxxx> (sorry looks a lot like corporate spam like this eheh) | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:37:10 BST] <xxxx> I'm following Microsoft strategy entering IoT/Embedded market, since it's the are I'm more involved in right now, and they are doing a lot of promotion of these around, I've seen the same people from MS Germany demoing at embedded trade shows around europe | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:38:19 BST] <schestowitz> so I'm told... | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [Sunday, 8 September 2019] [19:38:38 BST] <schestowitz> MS loves data... I mean, Linux | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:40] <xxxx> yes indeed, and cloud lock-in. And stomping on standards. So I see the market fit there, where standards for cloud communication and firmware upgrades are thin and just taking off. | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:43] <xxxx> I saw a nice panel at RIOT-OS summit in Helsinki this week. Video will be out soon. | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:43] <xxxx> https://summit.riot-os.org/2019/blog/speakers/jari-arkko/ | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:45] <xxxx> it contains a call for action to not trust third parties for key management in IoT devices | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:48] <xxxx> Microsoft is only one of the actors in this context. I've been following ARM's attempts of acquisition of GPL projects in embedded for many years. For some reason they push to remove copyleft from the projects they want to acquire. | Sep 09 05:16 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-summit.riot-os.org | Jari Arkko – RIOT Summit 2019 | Sep 09 05:16 | |
| schestowitz | [19:48] <xxxx> (that's how PolarSSL became mbedTLS at the time and lost its GPL) | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:50] <xxxx> the old method of hiring the project manager to remove copyleft from the project -- see also FreeRTOS becoming Amazon FreeRTOS (this time GPL->MIT) | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:54] <xxxx> I have a long track record of these, and xxx has more cases he found out about in other contexts, I am meeting with him this week to collect ideas for a talk to spread awareness, we'll be in touch if you are interested | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <xxxx> we both think we need a new way to talk about copyleft to software developers, but also to people taking decisions | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [19:59] <xxxx> apologies if all this sounds random, I just wanted to share with you part of my current activity since I saw you mentioning my toot in the openwashing post | Sep 09 05:16 |
| schestowitz | [20:19] <xxxx> sorry I was wrong about polarSSL, looks like they re-instated a GPL for mbedTLS recently (probably due to compatibility problems with Apache2 in GPL2 projects) | Sep 09 05:16 |

| schestowitz | seems to be old and very tired, perhaps its time he step down. his rhetoric is old and worn thin by reality and anyone who cares to learn about libre software and the ethics/philosophy behind it is most likely not looking to learn about it from an old fat man, especially since you can find his sentiments in literally every open source piece of software published under the GPL or a GPL variant. | Sep 09 17:17 |
| schestowitz | thankfully Linus isnt as old nor as stubborn as mister stallman and has learned from his past snafus and continues to lead the kernel with an iron fist. | Sep 09 17:17 |
| schestowitz | edit : this is coming from someone who previously idolized stallman, i even have both books- one of which is signed. as i grew up and got more exposure to the actual world of open source software i began to realize how archaic stallmans sentiments and attitude towards things were. he's become increasingly naive to the various threats posed by predatory companies like microsoft, seemingly going so far as to speak at a microsoft conference ( | Sep 09 17:17 |
| schestowitz | which you had to be there to see, there are no videos of it that are public) as if he was going to convince them of something when all he's done is make a fool of him self, and hopefully not given microsoft any more insight into the libre software model. | Sep 09 17:17 |
