==Overview==
The Eclipse Device Software Development Platform ([http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=dsdp DSDP]) Project is an open source collaborative software development project dedicated to providing an extensible, standards-based platform to address a broad range of needs in the device software development space using the Eclipse platform. '''DSDP is a top-level container project that includes several independent technology sub-projects focused on the embedded and mobile space.''' 

==Quick Project History==
* Founded March 2005 by Wind River
* 2005: 2 founding projects: DD and TM.
* 2006: 4 new proejcts, 1 moved proejct: MTJ, NAB, TmL, NAB created. eRCP moves to DSDP.
* 2007: 1 proposal, 1 reboot, 2 projects on train: VPP proprosed, MTJ rebooted. TM and DD on train.
* 2008: 1 new proejct, 1 project move, 3 projects on train: RTSC created, eRCP to move to RT project. TM, DD, NAB on train.
* 2009: 3-5 projects on train, 1 new proposal likely: TM, DD, NAB on train. MTJ, TmL hoping to be on train.

==Current Stats==
* Committer Totals: 45 committers, 10 active committer companies.
