XCore Exchange - come join us!

Dear All,

Today, 10th December 2009, marks the launch of the XCore Exchange (www.xcore.com).

XMOS is all about putting great technology into the hands of creative people.

The purpose of this new site is to create a community of enthusiastic XMOS users with an entrepreneurial spirit. We want to encourage you to share designs and code as well as develop your ideas. If and when you are comfortable, we want to provide you with a platform to promote your skills and your projects to potential customers.

You can use this new site in exactly the same way as you use XMOSlinkers. Or you can do even more, it's up to you!

• Create a shiny new professional profile and portfolio
• Create groups and share ideas
• Ask questions and discuss ideas on our new forums and get help from the exchange community
• Great new project interface provides the ability to post more details and information about your projects
• Establish and build professional or personal relationships with other users

Of course, this will mean some changes for XMOSlinkers. We want to move the XMOSlinkers site into the hands of our user community - handing over control and making the site totally independent of XMOS. We hope our XMOSlinkers users will find a great new home at the new and official XCore Exchange, but in the meantime we will seek a small group of enthusiasts to maintain and run the XMOSlinkers forums. If you are interested, get in touch. We have made small modifications to the XMOSlinkers Mission and Charter to reflect this repositioning.

Still not sure? As an incentive, we have decided to reward the first 25 (non-XMOS!) users to gain over 512 experience points on the XCore Exchange with a brand new shiny XK-1 development kit.

So come and join us at the new XCore Exchange!
