[Ambassadors] To all Ambassadors and Fedora Contributors

[Iosif Bancioiu]

Hi,

Maybe you know that there are 2 big companies building PLC and PLC
Platforms for industrial automation systems, Delta PLC and Siemens PLC.

Recently I've got an Delta DVP-10SX and they only support Windows for WPL
Soft and ISP Soft, the platforms used to develop software for their PLC. I
tried to install and use it  under Wine but I'm unable to get COM ports to
work inside those apps. (I'm able to see in other apps but not inside
those). I contacted them to ask about Linux Support and they told me that
they have requests from Russia for porting ISP and WPL Soft to Linux.

They asked me to provide them some statistics about Linux Systems numbers
in Industrial use because they are open for this, they take in
consideration to support Linux.

I would like if you can do some research in your country regarding this. Is
time for Linux to be supported by one of the bigest PLC builders.

Thank You and sorry for my English!
