From: Anderson Lizardo To: BlueZ development Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, I would like to bring another discussion (hoping that someone cares about the same issue as well :). Recently, the first GATT based profile was finally adopted by BT SIG: http://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/b/bluetooth_low_energy_blog/archive/2011/06/07/first-bluetooth-low-energy-profile-adopted.aspx . This means we can now finally work on it without fear of discussing things which are confidential. But what about all those other draft profiles? For sure some of you are already working on some of them (we included), but looks like we cannot discuss publicly or share code... or can we? What has been the policy on non-GATT profiles? I'm not involved on BlueZ development long enough to even have seen how the other non-GATT profiles have been implemented. If confidentiality is still necessary, could we have an invite-only mailing list for discussing and sharing code (at least for as long as the profile is not adopted).
