SAME conference has started with Joel Huloux, Chairman of the MIPI Alliance, who gave a high level introduction about MIPI, rather business than technology oriented, talking to Marketing/Management audience. Extracting the main points from his presentation:

• More than 30 specifications have been issued (Important remark: a MIPI protocols is NOT a standard, like can be PCI Express or SuperSpeed USB)
• About 250 companies are part of the Alliance, that is, the organization can rely on 5000 members (Engineers) to define and write the specifications. That’s a pretty large engineering resource!
• Contributors list includes now the main S/W players, Apple, Google and Microsoft (you can see contributor list below)
