What? You mean we've declined to breach confidentiality, ethics and 
fundamental data-protection laws in sending out our clients' details? 

In the context of a confidential email exchange, we have offered to
arrange an eCosCentric customer referral in Israel, subject to
reasonable commercial qualification - you may want to check with your
telephone receptionist to make sure that the follow-up calls left are
being relayed.

eCosCentric also has a great portfolio of some of the successful
products based on eCos that we highlight on our website at:-

  <http://www.ecoscentric.com/ecos/examples.shtml>

The examples are drawn from clients & users that are keen to publicise
their achievements, as well as ongoing research that we perform and even
leads from engineers "tipping us off" about eCos copyrights/code found
during dis-assembly of products! Somewhere this year eCos has its tenth
birthday (with the formation of the team in Cambridge starting the
design). It is fascinating to see the diverse range of devices that eCos
is used in and thinking where code/APIs/drivers/features/bugfixes/docs
have ended up is certainly part of the excitement of contributing to the
community. 

Right at the foot of the Product Showcase page is a subtle email link 
to where new product examples can be posted - a graphic is helpful too 
(info@ecoscentric.com Subject: New product example based on eCos). Some
application segments are a little more shy - security & military
customers in particular...!
