So beer is a prerequisite for Intermediate level?

This is a conflict with Linux Security summit unless someone can
convince me to be part of the training?

Hi Armin,

Thanks for letting us know. The security summit overlaps with a lot of things, including the first ELC day.

Hopefully we can make it work by fine-tuning the agenda in such a way that you attend just the portion of the day that is interesting to you, or you are presenting.

Let's talk more during the advocacy call.

Thanks!
Andreea

That’s correct. We’ll provide previous beginner material as pre-class homework.

So does this mean there won’t be a beginner class at all?

Re: [Yocto-Advocacy] Yocto Project Upcoming Conferences and Developer Days

[Josef Holzmayr]

I'd actually word it a little bit differently:

If there is only *ONE* attendee who did not properly do the homework, it
will have a massive impact an the rest of the group. And that somebody
will show up unpreparedly is absolutely certain in my opinion.

As someone who actually got started through the YPDD beginner track (and
also often recommends it to new beginners), my opinion is clearly that
we either should have it, be it only for a handful of attendees, or
offer a *real* replacement, with face to face training. My experience is
that this personal thing in the very beginning is an absolutely
essential part of many YP/OE careers.

Completely agreed. I've personally never understood the (until now,
mostly) friendly mutual heckling, but its a thing we have to cope with
and sort out. The sooner, the better.

There are actually a lot of attendees who don’t drink from what I can tell, which was made extremely evident to me in Edinburgh where the non alcoholic options kept on running out and how much alcohol was left at the end of the night. Wine and beer isn’t a draw for everyone anymore.

Another point I'm just stepping up to fully support. We can run out of
booze - its better if we don't but hey, we absolutely must not run out
of water and coffee.

Andreea, Philip and I had a pre-planning call and we all agreed that we want to solicit the community for ideas and then finalizing them at an Advocacy meeting. We are doing something different this year.  If you do not want to send ideas to this wide distribution, please don’t hesitate to send them directly to Andreea (Andreea.Volosincu@windriver.com<mailto:Andreea.Volosincu@windriver.com>).

It takes a lot of hard work to plan, promote, and execute these events, especially when the work is all on volunteering basis.  If you can help with the planning please also send Andreea a note.

Again, I would like to remind everyone that the CALL to ACTION is to submit IDEAS for the upcoming events.  My responses to the criticisms are inline below.

If community building is the plan please don’t exclude OpenEmbedded from the name nor the material (in other words, acknowledging which parts are from OpenEmbedded). Part of the community building aspect is going to have to be acknowledging that Yocto Project is an umbrella project made up of other projects, and then celebrating those projects.
[Ta, Lieu] Noted

The original idea I put forward was to have a joint OpenEmbedded/Yocto project 2-day event to replace the separate ypdd and OEDEM, not merely a larger Yocto project event.

I am personally already seeing a negative reaction to these plans from others, which is IMHO sadly contributing to destroying community instead of building it.
[Ta, Lieu] I am personally seeing positive reaction that we’re promoting Yocto Project and Open Embedded..  We can’t please everyone.  If we want to build together, we need to stand together.  Nitpicking and negativity would only crack the foundation we’re building on.

I, personally, would like nothing more than a simpler way to describe the whole thing. However as it stands we essentially have 2 camps that continue to separate instead of coming together. Let’s try and fix that bit first.
[Ta, Lieu] We are two camps if we continue to define ourselves so.

And I surely hope that things other than beer and wine are made available. There are actually a lot of attendees who don’t drink from what I can tell, which was made extremely evident to me in Edinburgh where the non alcoholic options kept on running out and how much alcohol was left at the end of the night. Wine and beer isn’t a draw for everyone anymore.
[Ta, Lieu] While I agree that the wine was not a big winner, beers were excessively appreciated.  The wines were traded in for beers by popular demands.  The beers were practically gone when I left.
However, the idea of adding more soft drinks to the mix, is a good one.

Thanks,

Behan

With sufficient trainers, one can continue for most and provide some

I agree. That is how I started, next to a compressed Linux Foundation 
Yocto training that was offered just before the event then.

So it might be wise to ask LF or get something organised. It would 
mostly require a room and a sponsor for some small devkit.

Hi Greg,

Linux Foundation is adding the info right now. Please check back in a couple of days. The Dev Day will be listed with the co-located events and you will be able to add it to your ELC registration.

[Volosincu, Andreea S]

Hi Jupiter,

Melbourne Australia is not in the plan for the near future, but you could help remotely as well. 

For instance, have you checked out the first live streaming that we had? Developers worldwide could help us with this, showing other developers how they work with the project. Here it is: https://www.twitch.tv/yocto_project/videos. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Good points to keep in mind. I will add them to the agenda for the upcoming advocacy call.

I'd actually word it a little bit differently:

If there is only *ONE* attendee who did not properly do the homework, it will have a massive impact an the rest of the group. And that somebody will show up unpreparedly is absolutely certain in my opinion.

As someone who actually got started through the YPDD beginner track (and also often recommends it to new beginners), my opinion is clearly that we either should have it, be it only for a handful of attendees, or offer a *real* replacement, with face to face training. My experience is that this personal thing in the very beginning is an absolutely essential part of many YP/OE careers.

Yes, both for LF and YP it are off-the-shelf trainings that do not

An excellent question. I agree with you. I don’t have an answer however. Not my decision.

Speaking as a course maintainer for LF, keeping the YP course updated is actually a tremendous amount of work (I’m the co-maintainer for the LF YP course).

However, the beginner slides tend not to need more than a few hours of updates every 6 months (which again is something I do).

Either may appear off-the-shelf, but they aren’t from my perspective. ;)

An additional training date would probably not require much extra I 
assume. As the training is given already a few times a year.
But it is good to hear the training is kept up to date.

Its not the material, need or willingness of the community to help that
is at issue. Its cost.
The more members we have the more we can do.

There are always people who are prepared to the T and others who just 
casually stroll into the class. We all know that as we all went through 
various stages of schooling. :) No matter what you do, there always will 
be a glitch. I tried it all from course preparation instructions, shell 
scripts setting up systems, USB sticks and network drives with downloads 
and shared state cache, virtual machine images, build systems set up in 
the cloud, you name it. If it is not somebody who is unprepared it is a 
technical issue: lack of disk space, network connectivity, corporate 
computers that do not allow USB sticks,... Instructors just have to deal 
with it.

I certainly would advocate to have the beginner track. It's a good way 
of getting people interested, and eventually excited, for the Yocto 
Project. Conferences and dev days are an opportunity to do advertising 
and to grow the community. We cannot do that just by catering to people 
who are already using YP. We need new folks as we are already running 
into issues where things have to be dropped because there is nobody who 
is maintaining it.

I can wholeheartedly second that. I developed the original YP class of 
the LF and taught it many times and have since developed my own class 
material teaching classes. While the basic concept of course remains the 
same it is the little details that change. With every new version of the 
YP a course maintainer has to go through every single exercise and 
example in the course material and try it out again to see if it still 
works. And quite frankly, sometimes it is rather silly things that have 
changed and break something.

In particular for a beginner class lasting one day only, every single 
disruption sets the class back and there is no opportunity to recover 
from it. The day is already packed just to cover the core concepts.

Rudi

And if you have a multiple day class, you can absorb such disruption.

But for single day events you basically have to make sure there is little to no wiggle room for failure. And for individual talks, there is almost no room for disruption at all during labs.

Assuming pre-class work essentially means there will be massive disruption on the day because many/most/all the attendees won’t have done it.

This is why we’ve largely done lecture only beginner talks at YPDD to make sure we cover as much material as we can and limit the possibility of in class issues.

Thanks. I'm hopefully not being too annoying, but us there an ETA on
when the registration will be open? The early registration deadline
for the ELC is May 20th, which is basically 5 working days, and I will
need a few days to push the paperwork though, so it's getting a little
close for my comfort :)

If it isn't going to be available soon, I do have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to register for the Dev Day after you have
registered for the ELC?
2. Is there a rough (preferably upper limit) estimate for the cost?

Add on events can be added later or purchased on-site.  I have done in
the past so I would reg for early bird now.

Good question. This is weird year for things so I can't comment on the
new norm.

Hi,

I think the discussion went a bit off track, which happens on mailing 
lists after x replies;)

Please see my comments in-line.

As you might know I am willing to help teaching at the EU event.

1)

I propose for the YP people to borrow some of their marketing people to 
OE ;) really I am serious about it.
(I already proposed that on the last OE Dev day, but no idea what happened).

There are quite a few cool things going on and they are not known to the 
public.

2) What kind of classes?

2.1) Basic classes
2.2) Intermediate classes
2.3) Advanced classes

It all depends on interest from trainees and from trainers and what we 
would like to present in general those 2 days.

Should it be just some veterans coming together (well the usual 
suspects) discussing things and drinking beer? (Josef will only get 
coffee and water)

... or do we want to bring in new people/beginners and give them some 
overview/initial help with the "monster" as well?

Don't get me wrong, I am delivering lots of YP/OE trainings and there is 
definitely a very high demand for this, but is that what we want to be 
covered in the 2 days as well?

3)

A different approach might be for people to "bring their own YP/OE 
problem" and we'll try to sort it out on the spot (if possible) or at 
least we'll try to propose some guidance how problems could be solved. 
That might be a quite interesting mix of simple and advanced problems. 
Having all the "brains" of the project(s) together in one place might 
help to see what problems people actually have.

Examples I came across:

3.1) People are told to use the YP in their project because the board 
manufacturer made a BSP with it, but they just need a headless system.
3.1.1) They start to remove stuff from the shiny Qt enabled demo of the 
board manufacturer - and fail.

3.2) People build some binaries with the SDK provided by the board 
manufacturer and manually copy them over to the rootfs - and can never 
reproduce again what goes in the field. - even the kernel and the boot 
loader are "maintained" outside of the YP/OE sometimes.

3.3) People build a complete image and upload it to the target with 
every little code change - instead of a different "developer" and 
"test/release" workflow.

3.4) License compliance - what this really exists?

3.5) Static libs (with autotools) (I made a speech about it last time at 
the YP dev day)

3.6) SW update vs. package management - sooner or later this is needed

3.7) Reproduce-able builds - are they?

3.8) Containers - deliver app(s) in containers

...

Now you know why I have so many gray/white hair and why I am traveling 
all the time delivering trainings ;)
