[m2m-iwg] Relevance of Polarsys for M2M

[UOMo <uomo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was curious about how PolarSys fits in with both M2M and Automotive? 

So far, it sounds very vague and fuzzy, more like a license thing than actual technology.

"Embedded and Mission Critical Stuff that must be supported for 80 or 100 years", sounds more like trying to offer support contracts on top of other projects and initiatives like M2M or Automotive. The whole charter and rather excessive fee-structure without a clear prospect of what you're paying for http://www.eclipse.org/org/industry-workgroups/polarsys_charter.php also makes Polarsys seem more like a cash-cow than something technically relevant to the future of M2M.

As Benjamin is Mentor of the first Polarsys project, can you shed some light on that, Ben?

Thanks,

Werner
