[U-Boot] U-Boot mini-summit at ELCE 2013 in Edinburgh - call for participation!

[U-Boot] U-Boot mini-summit at ELCE 2013 in Edinburgh - call for participation!

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi fellow U-Boot developers,

people meeting us at our booth at the Embedded World trade show in
N?rnberg this year may already have heard rumours about it but now it is
official - there will be an U-Boot mini-summit at the Emdedd Linux
Conference Europe in Edinburgh, UK [1].

Thanks to the wonderful people at the Linux Foundation, we will have
some space in the afternoon of thursday 24th that we can use to present
and discuss topics of interest for the immediate future of the project.

Currently we believe that it makes sense to plan for 4-5 short talks in
the range of 20-30 minutes with following Q&A.  The audience will very
likely be "tech level" and the presentations are thus allowed to have
"indecent technical content" :)

Of course everybody is invited to suggest a presentation, but an
informal poll turned up these topics of interest:

- Driver model
- Kconfig
- Patman tutorial
- U-Boot configuration through device tree
- Falcon boot for everybody
- DFU
- Android fastboot

The organization of the mini-summit is up to our discretion and thus
somewhat less formal than the "regular" ELCE tracks, but we would like
to encourage people to also submit U-Boot related talks through the
regular CFP[2] if they are of wide interest.

Having agreed on our schedule, we will be able to get it included in the
official conference schedule and thus hopefully get a broader
visibility.  To make this work we should finalize our schedule around
the end of the official CFP which is July 21st, but of course the
sooner, the better.

Please inform us if you would like to attend in order to get an idea
of the expected presence.  If neccessary we will have to look for a
larger place early on.

Next to the official program I'm sure that we will be able to find a
place in the evening to taste local culinary specialities (in solid and
liquid form), so be sure to book your return flight no sooner than
friday evening ;)

Thanks
  Detlev

[U-Boot] U-Boot mini-summit at ELCE 2013 in Edinburgh - call for participation!

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hello all,

I think we should bring the upcoming U-Boot mini-summit in Edinburgh
back to attention - it's still more than two months, so no reason to
panic yet, but as we all know, time flies like an arrow...

The deadline for the CFP has expired - did any of you actually submit
a presentation?

In any case, if you intend do give a presentation, could you please
ASAP send a short summary (title and abstract) to at least Tom,
Detlev and me, optionally also to the mailing list (recommended) ?


FYI: DENX will be present with the following engineers: Anatolij
Gustschin, Detlev Zundel, Gerhard Sittig, Heiko Schocher, Marek Vasut,
Pavel Machek, Stefan Roese, Stefano Babic, and myself.  We will arrive
on Wednesday afternoon.  Anatolij, Heiko, Stefan and me will depart on
Friday, the rest on Saturday.  We wil stay at the Hilton Edinburgh
Grosvenor hotel, Grosvenor Street.



Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I'll be giving a presentation called Redundant booting with U-Boot (or:
Welcome to the redundancy theatre playhouse) that will cover the
redundancy features we've had practically for forever (but are now
enabled more often in stock configs) as well as some ideas I've had
kicking around my head for a while and now have to go and implement.

Was all topics covered by a respective developer(speaker) are finalized?
Can any one point out the details for these, if possible.

I should be there too. Will be there any specific room available for u-boot mini summit?

I don't have any specific presentation but I am interested in
SPL for Microblaze and ARM Zynq platforms, device-tree U-Boot initialisation
and maybe others.

Thanks,
Michal

Yes, I do believe so.

Sounds good.  I'm not sure how the organization side of the summit is
being setup, but I imagine we'll be able to talk about those things.

[U-Boot] U-Boot mini-summit at ELCE 2013 in Edinburgh - call for participation!

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi all,

having also resumed from my holidays, I'd like to formalize the plans on
our meeting.  Thanks for the responses so far.

>>
>> Yes, I do believe so.

We currently have our meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 24th from
1-5pm.  We will have a room secured to hold 40 attendees with a screen
and projector.  Judging from the current feedback, this should be enough
;)

If we come up with am agenda, the Linux Foundation will publish it
beforehand and so hopefully give us more publicity, so this is what we
currently should aim for.

I can talk about some of these, well the first four anyway (although
there is not much to say about Kconfig yet). It depends on the
interest level, etc.
