Drones have just found their new best friends: coders. On Oct. 13, the Linux Foundation unveiled a nonprofit organization called the Dronecode Project ( https://www.dronecode.org ), an open-source development initiative uniting thousands of coders for the purpose of building an aerial operating system for drones. Hopeful that the project will bring order to the chaos that has surrounded software developers as they sprint to carve out a share of the bourgeoning market for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), UAS operators are now asking whether Dronecode will finally provide the horsepower and industry-wide support needed to launch a universal drone operating system.

    Yeah, they will demand the use of 'systd', whatever that is, and they will then use it to bootstrap a MS Bob based OS...in the most Nazi-like way possible, while being led by zombie Idi Amin.

    Are you happy now?

    Now run out and play with the other kiddies, the fresh air will do you some good.
