Hi, I’m Ivan Kuten, head of R&D at Promwad – Electronics Design House. I’m a fan of OSS (Open Source Software) and work closely with embedded linux running on devices since 2001. My user and programming experience with Linux started from my university times, the times of Redhat 4.0/4.1, where I was involved in scientific numerical computations on Linux based systems. Since then we designed a lot of embedded linux devices for Russian, EU and USA markets.
I live in Minsk city (1.8m population)- the capital city of the Republic of Belarus (one of former ex-USSR republics). Belarus is known as assembling and engineering centre for USSR, that’s why there are a lot of talented and qualified engineers.
