Dear Jefferson Carvalho,
In May 2001, Wind River, a leading provider of embedded software and
services, acquired BSDi's software business. We would like to take this
opportunity to introduce ourselves. Wind River software is used in
conjunction with the embedded, or hidden microprocessors that make up
over
90% of all computer chips sold today. Embedded systems made up of hardware
and software are found in numerous end products from laser printers to
automotive braking systems to aerospace applications.
Wind River picked up two software product lines from BSDi: the proprietary
BSD/OS and the open-source FreeBSD. By acquiring the proprietary BSD/OS,
Wind River broadened its line of commercial software solutions for the
embedded market. FreeBSD, on the other hand, is not owned by Wind River,
but managed by the open-source community. In the tradition of BSDi, and
Walnut Creek CDROM before it, Wind River intends to support the efforts
of
the FreeBSD community.
Wind River will act as a channel for the distribution of FreeBSD products.
This is not a commercial venture for Wind River, but rather a public
service for the community. Many of us at Wind River are or have been
FreeBSD users---notably Wind River founder and chairman Jerry Fiddler,
and
chief technical officer John Fogelin. Wind River is investing resources
to
develop and release FreeBSD products, operating retail and online sales
distribution channels, offering developer resources such as computer
hosting and infrastructure services, and providing public relations,
marketing, and events support for FreeBSD.
In this transition, some customers have been experiencing delays and
confusion in the servicing of their orders for FreeBSD products. If you
are one of these customers, we sincerely apologize for any frustration
and
inconvenience this may have caused you. After acquiring BSDi, we have
found many problems with the old order processing system. We are currently
working to put a new system in place. Still, this will take some time
to
implement. We ask for your patience and continued support. As an interim
measure we have set up a special email address,
ordertracking em windriver.com.
Contacting us this way will ensure your question immediately reaches the
right person and will expedite a response. You can also reach us at
1-925-691-2800
ext.3820 and from our web site at www.FreeBSDmall.com.
Exciting new products are being developed for 2001. We look
forward to a long and satisfying relationship with the FreeBSD community.
Sincerely,
Pauline Shulman
Senior Manager, eDevelopment
Wind River
