How to do Embedded Linux [not] right
TODO (community)

What should the community do
Provide non-partisan documentation
on FOSS advantages, proper FOSS development
hardware companies are interested to learn, but don't know who to ask. If they ask a commercial distributor, then they get in bed with them, which is not the same as working with the mainline development community
Something like a mentoring program
take software/driver R&D by their hand and walk them through the mainline merge
Don't scare them away
They have to be taught about the communication / review culture
Your valid criticism to patches has to be explained
