So what is this all about?
• Meeting point for the larger TinyOS community
– Beyond UCB, UCLA, Intel, Crossbow, NEST, …
– Open developers forum / Users Group
• Starting Point in forming a more interactive open
source development effort
– bugs, patches, tools, lessons, subsystems, standards, ….
• Opportunity to learn, share and exchange what
we all have done
– or are about to do
• Set Direction

TinyOS Tech Exchange
The Core Challenge
• Maintain a rapid pace of innovation
– supporting a diverse set of research investigations
– demonstrate implementation of concepts
– “Rough Consensus, Working Code”
while
• Providing a stable platform with predictable
growth
– allow industry to grow around it
– allow application deployments (study, demo, pilot, etc.)
– research continually folds back in
» stand on shoulders, not feet

TinyOS Tech Exchange
Why Now?
• The TinyOS code base and its development path
is stable and important enough to make
organizing the larger development community
worthwhile.
• Wireless embedded networks are taking off
– Companies popping up everywhere
– Fed. Gov’t support kicking in
– IEEE 802.15.4 is here, Zigbee is 6-12 months off
• Open community can do what it does best
– Move fast with real competitive ideas and implementations
• Building the TinyOS Alliance
– Industrial / academic members, advisory board, technical
board
– Start BSD-like and spin out into “foundation”
