Michael has been working on embedded Linux since 2004. He started his career by working on Electronic Design Automation for STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments. He then moved to embedded software in 2004 by creating Bootlin (Free Electrons at that time), which contributed to the increasing popularity of Linux in embedded systems, thanks to publicly available training materials and experience sharing through technical articles and conference presentations. Michael founded Root Commit in 2024, to pursue new research on embedded software, and to explore more effective ways of training and sharing knowledge. ...

About Contact Legal Support us Sustainability Michael Opdenacker Search Sustainability In addition to exploring innovative training methods, Root Commit was also created to prove that engineering and training services can be performed in more sustainable ways. We are doing our best to follow the following guidelines: Long distance travel within Europe should be done primarily by train, or otherwise by bus or by carpooling. This applies even if train travel takes a much greater amount of time than air travel. Flying should only be a solution in case of unexpected issues, like closed train lines or a risk to be late at a customer location. No flying to conferences overseas. We don’t want to emit tons of CO2 for very short travel. We can attend conferences remotely anyway, watch the videos later or wait for future editions on our continent. An exception is when a conference happens next to a trip to a customer site in the same region (like an on-site training session), or when we do local community work. Local travel (to a specific customer location) should be done via public transportation whenever possible. Otherwise, we will rent an electric car or use an electric taxi whenever possible. At our office, consuming electricity produced only from renewable sources. Some of our electricity is produced by solar panels and the remainder is produced from local renewable sources. Such electricity is also used to power a small electric car for local transport. Buying refurbished computer hardware whenever possible, as the production of new hardware represents 80% of its environmental impact during its life span. Reselling hardware that may still be usable by others. Promoting energy efficiency. ...
