"LEDE" OpenWrt fork promises greater openness

Some core developers of the OpenWrt community have forked off the project into a Linux Embedded Development Environment (LEDE) group. The LEDE project is founded as a spin-off of the OpenWrt project and shares many of the same goals. We are building an embedded Linux distribution that makes it easy for developers, system administrators or other Linux enthusiasts to build and customize software for embedded devices, especially wireless routers.

Building a great embedded Linux distribution with focus on stability and functionality.

Having regular, predictable release cycles coupled with community provided device testing feedback.

Establishing transparent decision processes with broad community participation and public meetings.
