BOZEMAN — If you live around the 9th Avenue and Lamme Street area in Bozeman, then you probably had an eventful Tuesday night. The streets were flooded with police cars and SWAT teams in attempts to detain a man who had barricaded himself in a house with a rifle A lot of yelling in the background and all that,” says Hannah Cantú who lives down the street from the scene where tire marks are still fresh in the yard from law enforcement Woke up around midnight to probably a flashbang and some major sounds of yelling and evacuation and stuff like that,” Hannah told me witnesses around Lamme observed a man retrieving an AR-style rifle from his vehicle during a heated argument over parking Concerned neighbors immediately contacted law enforcement but when they arrived was back in his residence off 9th and Lamme “When we get information that there’s a weapon involved and we have information to believe somebody may be barricaded inside of a residence It really then kind of escalates our response,” says Bozeman Police Patrol Captain Hal Richardson He told me police were able to safely evacuate those in the residence not involved in the standoff and put the surrounding residents in a shelter in place and with us bringing a special response team in we just don't want someone to be injured if it did turn violent,” says Richardson Gomez was uncompliant and refused to leave That's when Bozeman Police activated their City-County Joint Special Response Team We go through a whole bunch of stuff to get them out,” says Richardson Eyewitnesses say they also used what sounded like flashbangs You could also see the windows on the residence were shattered—procedures that kept those in the area up all night long Please come out with your arms up and no guns,’ and all that kind of stuff,” says Hannah Gomez was still barricaded in the residence The Lewis and Clark County and Helena Police SWAT team was called to the scene The incident was finally resolved around 7 a.m “The individual was taken into custody peacefully It’s to resolve these peacefully,” says Richardson Gomez has been charged with four felony counts of Assault With Weapon the police department doesn’t see these long standoff situations often But they do have the resources for when they do occur who’s lived in the Lamme and 9th area for years tells me it was impressive to see those resources in action “They did a great job of handling it as far as I could tell," she says "There have been little incidents over the years and stuff like that but never anything with this heavy of a presence."

She attended public school and, according to Senator John Heinz History Center Chief Historian Anne Madarasz At the time, engineering was an industry reserved for men. For women to even consider studying mathematics or machines at college was inconceivable. Troy Eller English, Society of Women Engineers archivist said some scholars maintained that if women entered higher education “[They said women’s] reproductive and mental health would be irreparably harmed,” English said land grant universities like OSU and Michigan State were more progressive and less likely to exclude women from entering traditional STEM fields So Bertha Lamme followed in her brother’s footsteps She studied mechanical engineering with a specialty in a new field called electrical engineering even the schools that accepted women rarely accommodate the needs of their female students so students often had to find off-campus housing English said Lamme and a few peers lived together in the home of the sister of an OSU professor very few women had engineering degrees because the system made it nearly impossible for them to,” English said “But she’d watched her brother succeed in engineering English said she was a member of the Browning Literary Society the Ohio State Lantern student newspaper mentioned her appearance at the commencement ceremony: “One of those who stepped forward to receive this degree of mechanical engineering in electrical engineering was a sweet girl graduate spontaneous applause broke over the crowd.” called “An Analysis of Tests of a Westinghouse Railway Generator,” caught the attention of the Pittsburgh-based engineering company Lamme was hired a few months after her graduation Her degree was in mechanical engineering because OSU didn't have an electrical engineering degree Historian Anne Madarasz said while there Lamme would have worked on some of the bigger transportation systems projects Her brother was notable for designing the giant generators at Niagara Falls “She’s in a place where there’s major innovation and change happening new ideas that are going to impact the world,” Madarasz said Madarasz said she would have had an understanding of the “evolving theory of electricity,” as the technology was changing every day but as progressive as Westinghouse was at the time for employing a woman it was still standard for ladies to retire when they married Women in the field aren’t as rare an occurrence these days, but less than a quarter of all engineering degrees are earned by women Madarasz said there’s still a ways to go to achieve equality within the field “But I think she is a shining example of setting out on a path that few Lamme died in 1943 and is buried in Homewood Cemetery there is a display dedicated to her in its Westinghouse exhibit An introduction to WESA's profiles on women in Pittsburgh history with Gloria Forouzan office manager for the mayor.  *This story was updated at 10:10 a.m Have a tip for the WESA newsroom?

This past weekend, yet another standoff happened in the exact same house a 12-hour standoff happened at the residence 33-year-old Seth Ryan Gomez had gotten into a heated argument over parking and threatened neighbors with an AR-style rifle The Special Response Team and a SWAT team out of Helena were all called to the scene They spent several hours using tactics to have Gomez surrender charged with four felony counts of assault with a weapon But Gomez is no longer being held at the Gallatin County Detention Center WATCH PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Standoff eyewitnesses describe 'wild night' of police activity (Sept court documents state another standoff happened at the same house Police reportedly responded to a disturbance call Steinmetz had reportedly been hanging out with a 16-year-old girl he thought she stole marijuana and followed her down the street Pinning her against a car and waving a pistol around After several hours and the use of flash bangs police say Steinmetz surrendered and was taken into custody He faced a judge Tuesday morning and his bail is set at $20,000 I was curious if this is something Bozeman Police are seeing more often so I spoke to Bozeman Police Chief Jim Veltkamp “I can think of times in the past when we’ve had a specific residence that we end up responding to calls repeatedly to,” says Veltkamp 9th and Lamme now making its way onto that list But how often are these standoff situations happening “We’ve slowly seen the number of special response team callouts increase We’re certainly seeing the types of crime change We’re having crimes involving more violence and more felonies end up as a special response team call out,” says Veltkamp Veltkamp tells me Bozeman Police appreciates the patience of the community as these types of calls increase they’re using every resource necessary to resolve situations peacefully BOZEMAN — The Bozeman Police Department has released more details of an overnight armed standoff that ended with the suspect's arrest Wednesday morning Bozeman PD said in a press release that officers responded to reports of a man brandishing a firearm on West Lamme Street shortly after 5 p.m Witnesses said they saw the suspect take an AR-style rifle from his vehicle during an argument over parking witnesses said Gomez became increasingly confrontational during the argument Officers issued an "Attempt to Locate" after confirming Gomez was not at his residence The release says that shortly after 9 p.m. officers were informed that Gomez was back at his residence in the 900 block of West Lamme Street Bozeman Police and the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team established a perimeter around Gomez's residence A SWAT team out of Helena was also called in to assist Gomez was repeatedly given instructions to surrender throughout the standoff as it continued into Wednesday morning The release says officers eventually deployed tear gas and took Gomez into custody shortly after 7 a.m Gomez faces four felony counts of assault with a weapon He is being held without bond at the Gallatin County Detention Center pending a court appearance Bozeman PD said no injuries were reported due to the incident and extended thanks to the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office and the joint Helena Police Department and Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team for their assistance And that is the operative word: beauty. Lamme, who is the design consultant for Tribe Design Group, the Austin-based design firm she co-founded with Brooke Wilbratte from hearty concrete and brass to open shelving that exudes grace while working overtime to serve After poring over every crevice of this kitchen we caught up with Lamme to ask about the smartest design decisions she and Wilbratte made that resulted in this stunning and smart kitchen.  We wanted a giant island to seat our entire family or a group of kids when they are here We knew we wanted a large island as the center of the kitchen so we designed the island first and worked the rest of the kitchen around it and sink all in convenient locations from one another When cooking on the stovetop we designed cubbies on either side so we could keep our favorite oils We installed the pot filler for functionality so we wouldn’t have to carry around our big pot across the kitchen to the sink These are all rift-sewn with a vertical grain It makes the cabinet feel modern and not rustic The stain is also important because a white oak can turn yellow quickly Our family lives hard in our home and I wanted to use a material for the floor that would be super durable and the kids can come in and out of the pool dripping wet without any worries A lot of people can’t deal with marble in a kitchen We just decided to live and cook freely in it and let the stress of the etching go I’m the girl who can spend hours at the slab showroom I’m obsessed with all different types of gorgeous slabs that Mother Nature creates It feels authentic to have a natural slab in my home.  The fixtures and lighting are burnished brass While our business is moving away from burnished brass and toward gunmetal finishes I still love burnished or unlacquered brass An unlacquered brass ages over time and brings a space extra character Our ceilings are twelve feet high and the island is twelve feet long, so the typical two to three pendants above an island wasn’t the right choice. We designed a custom light fixture with Apparatus Studio so it would fit the island take up that vast space and give the kitchen a wow factor Lighting should be the crown jewel of the kitchen Keep the rest of the kitchen clean and minimal It’s the one room of the house that gets the most use by your family and friends We live a very active lifestyle. Our family is constantly on the go, so when we come home we don’t like to be overstimulated with a bunch of colors or patterns. At heart, I’m a pretty simple person and I feel like the neutral palette reflects who I am. We used Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee—a go-to color.  remove the upper cabinets and put in open shelving If you can’t stand to live without your uppers make sure they go all the way to the top of the ceiling We prefer smart storage to conceal as much as possible we used floor-to-ceiling cabinet doors with pull-out shelves to conceal blenders and other everyday items already plugged in and ready to use we store plates and utensils in the island drawers close to the refrigerator We added an adjacent pantry and a storage wall to make up for lost storage space We keep entertaining essentials like platters The butler’s pantry off the kitchen is one of my favorite spots in the house My favorite thing about our kitchen is the amount of time I spend in there connecting with my family and friends From doing homework on the island to hosting parties It’s not necessarily the things in the kitchen that I’m attached to but the memories the kitchen affords me to make May I ask what stain you used for the white oak We are considering using white oak as well for our kitchen cabinets but are indecisive about the stain We started with an excellent view of our backyard Nice big windows and good airflow that helps keep the kitchen cool A four burner gas stovetop is exactly what we need in a small kitchen self-closing drawers for cutlery is very handy Your articles are so very Inspiring and Creative and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" See the “before,” and get a look at where we’re headed Designer Sam Sacks shows how it’s done at her grandparents’ farm in Lock Springs to Chancey Aleck and Etta Viola (Brewer) Pettengill Her early childhood was spent in Jamesport where she graduated from Trenton High School in 1953 where she worked as a business and insurance professional she graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee where they lived for many years until moving to Moberly Her family was a source of great joy and pride Always curious about the world and those around her Shirley was a beloved member of her community and church Shirley is preceded in death by her husband She was blessed with four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren CA; Andrew (Sondra) Samp and their children IA; Kyle (Marlisa) Samp and their children She is also survived by her brother Maurice (Pat) Pettengill of Milwaukee WI; one nephew; two nieces; extended family and close friends at Pathway-Millard Family Funeral Chapel in Moberly followed by a funeral service beginning at 11:30 a.m at the Missouri Veteran’s Cemetery in Jacksonville In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in honor of Shirley’s memory would be appreciated to the Run 4 Her Life organization at https://run4herlife5k.com or c/o Sue Samp Local arrangements are under the direction of PATHWAY-MILLARD Funeral Directors, 411 Union Avenue, Moberly, Missouri 65270 (660) 263-7284.

House after Bill Clinton was elected,” Deely said 1947 to Roger Linscott and Lucy Ann Richardson Goodlatte Linscott Wendy Linscott grew up in Richmond and graduated from Pittsfield High School who attended Berkshire School in Sheffield accompanied Linscott to social events when they were teenagers Deely said Linscott’s intelligence always stood out “The defining characteristic of her in many ways was her intellect,” he said In many ways she was a feminist a decade before that became trendy “What I mean by that is that she was an independent thinker “A lot of this I think she inherited

London “She was excellent company,” Rousseau said loved all kinds of music and the theater and spent a long She was always well read and had books around the house “Her death just reminds us of all that she brought to life in the Berkshires She could have worked in a big time law firm anywhere in the U.S and chose to live and practice in Berkshire County “I think we’re all very fortunate when we

In 1997, Alex Lamme and his wife, Janae Lamme, moved to Virginia two weeks after being married where Alex studied at the University of Virginia Law School. Alex and Janae became parents in the early 2000s when Janae gave birth to their son Nick, followed by daughters Alex, Ava and Laney. Alex tragically died unexpectedly in April 2013 while on a business trip in Chicago, and that same year, he was recognized through a road race in Virginia held by family and friends because of his love for running. Alex was not only a standout runner during his time at Fremont High School, but also at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he ran a leg of a distance medley relay at the 1996 NCAA Indoor Track Championships held in Indianapolis, Indiana. He became a national champion and fist team All-American in the process, his father, Nick Lamme, said during a 2016 interview with Tribune correspondent Chris Legband. The event, of course, is a great way for the Fremont community to celebrate Alex’s life and passion for running, however, funds gathered from the dash and family walk serve a vital purpose of their own, too. Proceeds once again will go toward the Alex Lamme Award for UNL track athletes, FHS boy and/or girl track and/or basketball scholarship, scholarships for Alex’s four minor children as well as providing funding for youth programs at the Y.

For Teich, candy runs in her family. She's the fifth-generation co-owner of Lammes Candies since 1885 "We built the manufacturing facility that you're standing in," said Teich about their Airport Boulevard location in Central Austin The origin of the candy shop isn't so sweet "The business was lost in poker and bought back by our founder,David Turner Lamme Sr.," said store manager Sarah Schiff "You've gotta keep in mind this was about three years before the state Capitol went up in downtown," said Schiff "They started with a traditional kind of penny candy." Within seven years, their penny candy turned into gold when Lamme created the Texas Chewie Pecan Praline nobody makes a praline like we do," said Teich "That's what got us on the map because families could send it to soldiers and confidently knowing that it's gonna arrive in good condition." The ingredients are still the same: pecans pecans from the trees along the Colorado River in Austin were used to produce the praline -- Lammes continues to follow this tradition today From the pandemic to now the serious supply chain issues "It's been difficult on several levels," said Teich "We were outta cellophane for eight weeks We could not make one of our premium products Austin's oldest candy shop keeps serving up delicious treats for Austinites I think shows how well it goes together with the Austin city vibe," said Schiff If you'd like to pre-order Valentine's Berries, click

his wet nose against Lamme’s face Lamme and his 2-year-old Belgian Malinois live in Simi Valley with Brian Olex and his 3-year-old pit bull cattle dog Kaia Both Lamme and Olex received dogs last September from the Ventura County chapter of Pets for Vets The organization rescues dogs from shelters and trains them to help veterans reservists and even active-duty members of the military if they can prove they won't deploy for 12 months A fundraiser for the group is set for Thursday the two Marines served in the 3rd ANGLICO unit They were deployed to Afghanistan at different times and reconnected at Olex’s birthday and welcome home party in 2016 They decided to become roommates last year Veteran homes: Affordable housing for veterans coming to Oxnard next year learned about Pets for Vets from Olex an exercise science major at California Lutheran University Olex had spotted the organization at a college fair on the Moorpark College campus while he was taking an extra credit class the director of training for Military Animal Project and a veteran himself Olex recalls that as soon as he encountered Horrell and the dog and I knew I needed something to keep my mind busy all the time,” Olex said Lamme remembered how calming a dog overseas was “While everything was blowing up around us and everything was going to hell loving dog that didn’t really care or judge you for the things you had done,” Lamme said Veteran health: Plans unveiled for expanded Ventura County VA clinic Olex got together with trainers Laurette Chapman and Horrell and explained he needed a dog that would enjoy hikes He had returned stateside with great difficulty being alone Horrell said he knew Duke had the temperament to help Lamme with his nightmares Chapman said it takes six to eight weeks on average to train the shelter dogs This situation was unique in that the two dogs had to train together Chapman and Horrell got together once a week with the dogs the vets do not meet the dog until we are ready to turn them over,” Chapman explained it was different because I had to work with Bob to make sure everyone would get along They actually did meet the dogs before the turnover because of that scenario we had to make sure all things were covered.” the vets are instructed to wear a T-shirt throughout the day “The last two weeks you put it in the bed at night so when the dog meets the veteran I know you,’” Horrell explained and it immediately helps with the bonding.” Olex said the connection with Kaia was not immediate “Meeting people for the first time I’m reserved and very quiet,” Olex admitted The dogs were already playing in the backyard and I got off work ‘Who’s this guy?’ She would come over walk away and her eyes were studying me and trying to learn me The turning point for them was when he put Kaia in the bed of his truck to go on a hunting trip and she put her paws on his shoulders and pulled him in for a hug the relationship took a turn,” Olex said Chapman believes the organization saves lives — of both the dog and the combat veteran “We make a lifetime match for the dog and the veteran,” Horrell said “If something happens to the veteran If something happens to the dog — say he gets cancer — we’ll get the veteran another dog if they want it the dog has been a vital addition to his life began working with the organization three years ago Tom, will

Tuesday night According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report two miles west of Waynesville when he lost control and overturned the Honda MSX125 he was riding Vernon Lamme didn’t quite seem the type to be an archaeologist With his prominent chin and substantial waist world-traveling Indiana Jones nor a meticulous He sometimes like to play the part of the adventurer—in pictures from the 1940s when he was excavating burial sites at the aquatic theme park Marineland he’s wearing a pith helmet—but his territory was Florida the governor appointed him State Archaeologist the first in Florida and one of the first anywhere in the country “He was known among archaeologists as being a shady an archaeologist who’s researched and written about Lamme’s life and career “But maybe not as smart as that.” most states have an official State Archaeologist The position began as more of an honorary role but after Congress passed the Historical Preservation Act in 1964 new state historic preservation offices started hiring archaeologists to review development projects and help protect valuable archaeological sites “Just like we protect the birds and bees with environmental laws we protect cultural resources,” says Nicholas Bellatoni Emeritus State Archaeologist in Connecticut and past president of the National Association of State Archaeologists If state archaeologists identify archaeological sites that are potentially significant they might recommend a development be paused while a survey is conducted “Any state archaeologist is used to controversy,” says Bellatoni But not the type of controversy that Lamme incited he lasted just six months—and his scandals included getting hordes of teenagers drunk to stake a homesteading claim on Merritt Island a long strip of land off the state’s eastern coast It was a rough set up: most of the houses were simple shacks “excellent wine made from grapefruit juice.” and then moving to Naples to start the Transcript the senator from Key West promised to find him a job and he began working for the state government as a “verifier in the Enrolling Room,” where he made sure bills passed by the state senate were in the right form when they went to the governor for a signature But he also continued submitting stories to newspapers in Key West and Fort Myers he had become legislative secretary to the same senator who had originally lured him to the capital. It was from this position that he launched himself as state archaeologist He wrote the bill that created the position and convinced the governor to appoint him to the office though he had no training and little experience as an archaeologist There was little professional archaeological work being done in Florida and enthusiastic amateurs could finagle their way into digs or make their own contributions the state was about to experience a small boom in archaeological work As part of the New Deal, the Civil Works Administration was launching large archaeology projects, under the supervision of the Smithsonian, in “states with mild climates and large numbers of unemployed workers,” as Edwin Lyon puts it in A New Deal for Southeastern Archaeology Whatever artifacts were found would be split between the state and federal governments As the newly appointed State Archaeologist Lamme would be in charge of the state’s side “Because he was called the state archaeologist he was supposedly involved in all these projects,” says Mitchem “Some of the other people involved in these projects trained people couldn’t stand him.” The problems began quickly, as Mitchem discovered while researching Lamme’s life The digs that Lamme was overseeing kept shoddy records so that archaeologists looking at the reports he wrote can find little to elucidate what was actually found Lamme “bought moon-shine whiskey and lemons and succeeded in getting the crowd drunk,” reported one of his enemies an employee of the Florida Geological Survey and an actual archaeologist Some of Lamme’s young employees had “never drank whiskey before in their lives,” Simpson wrote “I feel sure that every resident of the town will recall very clearly the shameful incidents which followed.” Lamme also took the government trucks provided for the work and rented them out for $8 a day some of the best artifacts from the dig disappeared “Lamme was good friends with a major collector in Miami,” says Mitchem “Apparently he was letting this guy take some of the cream of the crop stuff that they were finding.” these transgressions lost Lamme his new position this was not the end of Lamme’s archaeological career He convinced a new governor to reinstate him as state archaeologist in 1937 only to resign a few months later to begin a different government job a SeaWorld-like park that focused on dolphins he started excavating mounds built by Native Americans and in 1940 he got himself reappointed as State Archaeologist yet again he was also elected Alderman for Marineland and his need to make a buck finally came together he convinced the owners of Marine Studios to make him and the excavations part of the attraction itself,” writes Mitchem “This indeed proved popular.” Visitors to Marineland could pay 25 extra cents to view the mounds and eventually the Seminole family Lamme convinced to live on site He never stopped thinking about archaeology Florida Lore Not Found in the History Books! he’s still trying to advance a pet theory that Florida was once occupied by the Maya people I had the opportunity to tramp over every deer trail and cowpath in the every county of the state – and the more Indian mounds I studied the more firm was my belief that the Mayas once roamed these trails,” he wrote But that never concerned Lamme: he made

praline—continues candy business that started in 1878 The fifth generation of the Lamme family continues to churn out candies The minute Pam Teich walked into the office she knew the situation was worse than she’d imagined and the deadline for shipping candy to one of Austin-based Lammes Candies’ best customers was the end of the week when she thought it might be more fun doing anything besides helping run her family’s 134-year-old business it’s just another surprise to throw you off your game you take a deep breath and figure out what you need to do there are very few things that creep up on you that you can’t handle.” most famous for its Texas Chewie Pecan Pralines has been making candy of one kind or another since long before cars traveled Congress Avenue brother Bryan David Teich and sister Lana Schmidt are the fifth generation of Lammes to run the family-owned business—a rare feat “The one time we didn’t order Lammes ‘Where’s my candy?’ ” says Charlotte Plumlee whose Austin-area oilfield services company sends 450 boxes of pralines to customers and employees every Christmas and the people I deal with are very nice.” Mention Lammes to Texans of a certain age and their reaction is usually the same: That’s the pecan praline candy company But Lammes was in business for almost 50 years before it focused on the pralines Its beginnings in 1878 were more ice cream parlor than candy factory and its best-selling products until World War II were ice cream and a sherbet-like product called gem That is not to say the pralines haven’t been important who took over the business from his father in 1885 (family lore has it that William lost the company in a poker game and David made good the debt) and it remains the same today: Texas pecans At first the candies were sold only by special order—and only when Lammes had enough orders to produce 25 pounds when the pralines became so popular that the company started its mail-order division specifically to sell them Lammes sells a half-million tons of candy per year split half and half between its five Austin-area retail stores and the mail-order and wholesale business Customers have sent Lammes pralines to locations as distant as Malaysia and Iceland and one customer used to send a box to the queen of England every year is not Lammes’ only longtime employee About half of the 70 have been there at least 15 years “It’s a family thing,” Walston says “They’re sincere and sold on the product; I just love the family and business I love it so much that sometimes I act like it’s mine.” That might well be the reason for its enduring success “When a company lasts five generations it’s all about the strength of the family,” says Chip Besio the director of the Center for Marketing Management Studies at Southern Methodist University in Dallas family-owned businesses don’t last much past the third generation because the next generation isn’t always willing and ready to do what the previous generations did to get the company to that point.” “We’re all in this together,” she says Teich handles sales and marketing; Bryan D Teich oversees the financial and operations parts of the business; and Lana Schmidt runs the retail stores “The people I work with are the reason I work here There is a comfort and a security in those bonds.” ——————– Jeff Siegel is a Dallas writer This article appeared in the

16.24 Europe/London By So what is the Operating System powering your Smart TV today From both a TV manufacturer perspective as well as from a consumer perspective there are many options available We’ll see that this is a very fragmented marketplace that also heavily depends on which country/region you happen to live in It certainly reminds us of the OS wars on the desktop/laptops and the mobile phone… First the available options from a worldwide perspective: 1) A customized Android AOSP or another customized OS with or without a combination with a 3rd party app store like Opera TV (now called Vewd – basically an HTML5-based storefront of web apps optimized for TV) 2) Android TV 4) Roku TV a heavily modified version of Linux called Roku OS 5) Tizen OS 6) WebOS the third party non-proprietary Smart TV Operating Systems are: Android AOSP Roku TV and Firefox OS (the now discontinued open-source operating system) The proprietary Smart TV Operating Systems here are: My Home Screen 2.0 Clarification: “Proprietary” means TVs whose operating system is made specifically by the TV manufacturer versus an established broadly used OS by multiple vendors In this dossier we’ll take a closer look at who supports what Option number 1: Android AOSP Android AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is an open source software stack for a wide range of devices and a corresponding open source project led by Google Not to be confused with Android TV (see below) AOSP can be used to create a customized Operating System for almost any device available Since it is missing the Google Play Store (not part of Android AOSP!) manufacturers will have to add/create the missing components A number of TV and Set Top Box manufacturers used Android AOSP to build a solution before Android TV was launched Some manufacturers are still using this option: An example of a well-known Android AOSP fork is Amazon Fire TV basically the Operating System Amazon’s digital media players run (called Fire OS) There are two versions of Fire OS: Fire OS 5 and 6 Fire OS 5 is a fork of Android 5.1 (Lollipop while Fire OS 6 is based on Android 7.1 (Nougat API Recently Fire OS has become available as an option for TV manufacturers the following vendors offer Smart TV’s based on Android AOSP: Vu Televisions (based on Android AOSP with an Opera TV/Vewd 3rd party app store) who are these Chinese Smart TV manufacturers Changhong (Changhong Sichuan Changhong Electric Co. is a Chinese consumer electronics company (including Smart TV manufacturing) based in Mianyang Konka (Konka Group Co. is a Chinese manufacturer of electronics and telecommunication products based in Shenzhen Skyworth (Skyworth is headquartered in Shenzhen thus making televisions that retail under brand names other than its own) TCL (TCL stands for “The Creative Life” It is also one of the largest Smart TV manufacturers worldwide An example of Android AOSP integration in their TV’s is their FFalcon – Thunderbird brand – these TV’s run what they call the FFUI which is based on the TCL TV+OS Operating System Xiaomi (Xiaomi was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Lei Jun The Mi TV is a line of smart TVs designed and marketed by Xiaomi They run Android (AOSP) and were initially announced in 2013) Option number 2: Android TV Android TV is a fully fledged professional Operating System that can be deployed on both Smart TV’s and Set Top Boxes It comes with the Google Play Store for Android TV So here is the list of TV Manufacturers (vendors/brands) supporting Android TV today: – Bang & Olufsen (B&O) – Haier (Haier moved from using Roku to Android TV in 2017) – Hisense = Iris – LeEco – Philips (TP Vision is the company that engages in developing manufacturing and marketing Philips branded Android TV sets in Europe Paraguay and selected countries in Asia-Pacific excluding China) – Sharp – Skyworth – Sony – TCL (TV brand names include: TCL and Thomson) – Toshiba – Vestel Option number 3: Firefox OS (now called “My Home Screen 2.0“) This means that the OS essentially also moved from the non-proprietary to the proprietary Smart TV OS category Therefore the ONLY vendor using this OS is: Panasonic Option number 4: Roku TV Roku is a manufacturer of streaming devices with a very specific geographical market share/footprint: They are non-existent outside North America with regards to their Roku TV solution (their external players however are available in NA Roku OS is a heavily modified version of Linux and Roku announced its first branded Smart TV 2014 These TVs are now manufactured by companies (licensee brands running Roku OS and using Roku’s Smart TV hardware reference design) like Element They use the Roku user interface from Roku OS as the “brain” of the TV Therefore the licensee brands of Roku TV are (North America only!): – Element Electronics – Hisense USA – Hitachi – Insignia – RCA – Sharp USA – TCL USA – Haier (Haier moved from using Roku to Android TV in 2017) Option number 5: Tizen OS Tizen is an operating system based on a Linux kernel It is a project within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a Technical Steering Group (TSG) Tizen is controlled by Samsung and also backed by Intel is the only Tizen member incorporating and developing the operating system increasingly distributing it to its own products The operating system consists of many open source components however a number of components are internally developed by Samsung (e.g. These are released under the Flora License essentially a BSD- or Apache-style license except granting patents to “Tizen Certified Platform” only: Therefore it is very unlikely any other vendor will use or be able to use Tizen OS on their non-Samsung devices Note that the Samsung UI on these TV’s is called/marketed as “Smart Hub” Samsung Option number 6: WebOS An OS with a long and complicated history: WebOS is a Linux kernel-based multitasking operating system for smart devices such as Smart TVs and it has also been used as a mobile operating system The operating system was sold and patents were licensed to LG Electronics back in 2013: HP still held on to patents underlying WebOS LG has expanded its use to various IoT devices LG showcased an LG Wearable Platform OS (WebOS) smartwatch in early 2015 HP sold its webOS patents to Qualcomm: LG did not get the patents to WebOS; those went to Qualcomm LG is the only vendor using it for a range of devices today: At CES 2017 LG even announced a smart refrigerator with WebOS because of the complicated licensing situation it is highly unlikely any other vendor will start using WebOS for Smart TV’s The only vendor using this OS for Smart TV is: LG That’s the Smart TV OS playing field A very fragmented marketplace indeed: Some larger manufacturers even support multiple Operating Systems Brand license agreements… But what does this mean For an OTT player it is now a question of prioritizing app development: They will need to look at it from a regional (per country) market share perspective but should also not forget to take into account a global trends perspective Consumers have other worries: For how long will the vendor of
