Openesque LLC designs and develops embedded and open systems, using both open-source and proprietary development tools. Openesque has a proven track record of creating innovative, practical, and maintainable systems that are popular with our clients...and more important, our client's clients.

Although the company focus has shifted away from IT and towards software and system development, Openesque was orignally created to provide open-source system solutions, and is still available to do so. Openesque is not a large company, but we have a lot of resources at our disposal to help you solve your problems.

Believe it or not, Openesque can get you a professional-looking website developed. To get us one would involve slowing down long enough to do so. But, at least it does fit the company's philosophy, lifted shamelessly from Albert Einstein: "Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler." On processors like the MSP430, with (until recently) a whopping 1 KB of RAM, simpler is better. And so far, no complaints about the usability of this website, so we must be doing something right....right? ;-)

The obligatory case studies will be up as soon as permissions are worked out, and pending products are released to the public. However, NDAs notwithstanding, more details can be discussed in private. Initial consultations are always free...you can decide for yourself if you wish to continue working with Openesque or not. You will be pleased with the results.

Openesque LLC's company philosophy and operating principles. "Pragmatic, not dogmatic." Simpler is better....more usable and more reliable. That's pretty much it.

Finally brought out of their unlinked-to depths of the web server, The Openesque white paper set...I just re-read them and freshened some dead links. Nothing new in a while (I'm actually running BIND 9 now, but the BIND 8 paper still holds true,) but still good for what they're good for.

Openesque LLC is no longer a one-man band! Openesque recently hired an assistant to do all the things Ron should do, but never has time to. The usually mentioned session players are still the same as ever, and Ron Oliver continues to juggle jobs, looking for new jobs, and family.
