Berlios suggests bitbake was born on Dec 7, 2004. So in a few weeks we<br>
will celebrate the 9'th birthday of the OpenEmbedded build system.<br>

I found a presentation that seems to have a bit more history in it.<br>

2001: Sharp introducestheSL-5000 PDA running Linux<br>
<br>
2002: Chris Larson finds out that the SharpROM sucks and starts hacking on a<br>
build system for a customized Linux distribution called "OpenZaurusâ€<br>
<br>
2002-2003: The OpenZaurus build system is getting stretched (beyond belief) by<br>
adding support for many more packages and target devices<br>
<br>
January 2003: Brainstorming towards a new distribution and device independent<br>
build system<br>
<br>
February 2003: Holger Schurig creates the OpenEmbedded repository and starts<br>
hacking on the first version<br>
<br>
May 2003: Chris Larson adds major functionality to the OpenEmbedded core and<br>
starts converting packages from the OpenZaurus build system<br>
<br>
December 2003: Michael Lauer releases OpenZaurus3.3.5, abandons the OpenZaurus<br>
build system, and converts100s of packages to OpenEmbedded<br>
<br>
December 2004: OpenEmbedded is split up into the BitBake build system and the<br>
OpenEmbedded metadata<br>
<br>
So the magic Dec 7 2004 date is the split of OpenEmbedded into bitbake and the<br>
'metadata'. Â the actual work was almost 20 months prior.<br>
<br>
The sourceforge openembedded project was registerd 2003-01-21:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/openembedded/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/<u></u>projects/openembedded/</a><br>
<br>
Also I found a repository that appears it may contain the original<br>
OpenEmbedded.. Â first commit is:<br>

So I think that Jives with the Approx Feb 2003 timeframe..  and I'd say the code birthday then would be Feb 21 2003 -- so in 3 months we're looking at the 12th anniversary of Bitbake/OE.</blockquote></div><br><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjCkwYM6wjBQdGx6Umt2cjBETjNsS09CUFNxRUwzVEE">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjCkwYM6wjBQdGx6Umt2cjBETjNsS09CUFNxRUwzVEE</a> has some dates I started to gather years ago, in case it’s at all of use.<br>
