OHM Core Values

+ The OHM daemon with all management modules suitable for the platform loaded should: +

  • + not have a binary size of over 200k in size +

  • + start in less than 200ms on 100MHz ARM +

  • + use less than 200k of private memory +

  • + be platform neutral, i.e. use HAL wherever possible +

  • + be plug-able so proprietary code can be used where required. +

  • + be simple to change preferences for the session +

  • + be secure so system policy cannot be changed +

  • + be session-aware so that multiple users can be active +

  • + not rely on any odd toolkits or high level programming frameworks +

  • + be efficient enough to do complex rule processing with minimum CPU load +

  • + be bug free and have no memory leaks so the daemon will never crash +

  • + be an open and supported project, rather than a quick custom hack +

  • + integrate well with modern desktops like GNOME where required +

Dependencies

OHM is lightweight.
