Future of OpenMPE

SRI, Allegro and Strobe have all expressed interest in a possible emulator RFP from OpenMPE. However, it is not at all clear at this time that the emulator will be more forthcoming if it is OpenMPE's project, since various of the companies seem to be interested producing their own product.

It is imperative that OpenMPE decide what it's role needs to be in the community. Many of the possible roles are already being filled by other organizations. The three roles which seem reasonable options are

  • Advocacy
  • Development of an Emulator
  • Maintenance of MPE
Clearly these require vastly different resources. So it was RESOLVED that the emulator committee pause its work until such time as OpenMPE has decided a direction and has a business plan in place.
