BlueZ Qualification and 7 Layers UK

Hello.

I run the Bluetooth lab at 7 Layers UK and contacted Max offering to do
qualification work for BlueZ in some not-obviously-commercial way.  A quick
summery of who we are may help you understand where we are coming from.

7 Layers run numerous Bluetooth and GSM labs around the world, boast 4 BQB's
and also supply and support Bluetooth test labs for other organisations.

7 Layers UK are eagerly awaiting completion of our BQTF status (the audit
was the hardest 2 days work I can remember...),  our BQB is nearly 1 year
old :o)  We have a qualified RF and protocol test rig though some tests we
have done by 7 Layers in Germany.

I want to get involved in BlueZ and am willing to devote some time and
perhaps even money to it.  My Linux experience is limited and personally I
know the bottom end of the Bluetooth stack much better than the top.

It seems I am in a good position to assist or coordinate the qualification
of BlueZ.  Now I don't relay know who you are and what your involvement with
BlueZ is, please could you drop me a few lines of introduction.  Also I'd
like to know how having a qualified BlueZ would help you so I can focus on
the value.

Best Wishes

Halam

Hi,

Max, can you "coordinate the efforts" for qualification ?
Who is going to write the test report ?
Is Bluez going to be listed as official Bluetooth qualified stack ?
Who is your contact at 7layers ?

I have had a nice talk about this topic with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Wollert
from the FH Bochum at the Bluetooth Kongress in Germany. They have done
some work with 7 Layers Germany and if you like I can try to coordinate
the efforts to get a Bluetooth qualification for BlueZ.

Regards

Marcel
