from the One-Code-to-rule-them-all dept.

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.

    I have been running *nix servers for years in a web farm and don't know anything about this supposed reliability you seem to think exists. What I do know about is a constant stream of bug fixes that I have to apply regularly and a bunch of problems that are always requiring fixes.

    Please share your biggest issue with us. My bet is on a userland application that is owned by a company that has a paid-for support option.
