Lewis Rosenthal: Arca Noae: Development Priorities
Often when users feel that their needs are not being met in terms of hardware support or software features, they lack the broader perspective
of how these issues may or may not impact hundreds or thousands of other users and/or operating environments. Is that device really a necessity
in order to boot and run the OS? Is support for a specific hypervisor essential to running ArcaOS virtually? Is support for a given processor
architecture really required?
We will discuss these issues and compare these against the realities of human resources, cost controls, and support overhead in this spirited
session.
