Posted by timothy on from the committee-meeting-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Embedded Linux Consortium's board of directors has started the clock on final review of version 1.0 of the ELC Platform Specification, according to an announcement sent to the ELC's members. The draft spec was completed by the platform spec working group in late October, triggering a 45-day review period that will culminate in a vote cycle authorizing public distribution of the world's first Embedded Linux standard."
