Call for Presentation for the "Embedded Systems and Open Hardware" session of the 10th Libre Software Meeting (Nantes, France, July 2009)
by Patrice Kadionik 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Dear all, Please find below the Call For Presentation to the LSM meeting for the "Embedded Systems and Open Hardware" session. Sincerely Yours; Patrice. French Fedora ambassador. =========================================================================== The Libre Software Meeting (LSM) is an annual event on free software taking place in july in France since 2000. The LSM meeting is organized this year in Nantes from 7th to 11th july. This text is the Call For Presentation (CFP) of the "Embedded Systems and Open Hardware" session. The other topics can be found on the LSM Web site: http://2009.rmll.info/. The embedded systems are increasingly present in our life. The embedded system community usually used commercial software solutions with royalties to reverse each time a system is sold. Since few years, a reversal of tendency has appeared with the use of free software for embedded systems. That is made possible by the adaptation of the Linux kernel to the constraints of atypical embedded system (no MMU, small memory footprint, filesystem in FLASH memory...) and its port on various types of processors. Along with free software for embedded systems, Open Hardware is becoming more and more important. Open Hardware provides access to all the specifications of an electronic device design and is reproductible by everyone. This allows design reuse because one knows how it works. Open Hardware also increases its life because it can be reused in another use. The purpose of the "Embedded Systems and Open Hardware" session is to give the state of the art of free software for embedded systems and Open Hardware. Technical topics of this session include but are not limited to: * Embedded OS Development kernel architecture, implementation and port for embedded systems * Embedded Development Tools: tool chains and project cases (tool chain projects, packaging for cross compilation, portability ...) * Embedded Linux: µClinux... * Real-time extensions for Linux: RTLinux, RTAI... * Hard real-time kernels: eCos, RTEMS, ADEOS, Xenomai... * Soft Real-time kernels * Embedded Java * GUI for embedded systems: Gtk, Qt, Nano/X... * Linux and System on Chip (SoC) * Open Hardware, Open design, free IP modules (Intellectual Property) and softcores: opencores, OpenRISC, NIOS, Microblaze, LEONSparc, FPGA... Submissions with industrial applications and experiences are specially encouraged. Précisions for the speakers: The conference will last 30 minutes, questions included. Round tables will be organized. Synthetic presentations are scheduled to last 20 minutes. PDF versions of the presentation are not mandatory but they will be greatly appreciated (with a web online access just after the LSM event, they are a very useful documentation to the entire community). If you plan to participate and to propose a presentation, please send as soon as possible a message to the following address: embarque(a)rmll.info with a summary of your presentation (and if you can, an english summary too) no later than 15th march 2009. Feel free to forward this Call For Presentation everywhere or to everyone you think to be interested in. We have limited resources for public transportation (only for those who can not be refunded by their administration) but there is no fees for the conference and accommodation at very low cost is proposed on the site. The chairmen of the "Embedded Systems and Open Hardware" for LSM ’09: Florian Fainelli, Patrice Kadionik, Thomas Petazzoni et Pierre Ficheux. =========================================================================== -- Patrice Kadionik.

Kids at SCaLE 7x
by Clint Savage 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Here's a conversation I had regarding SCaLE's policy toward bringing children. 13:49 < herlo> I asked a couple days back about kids at scale and pricing or whatever. I forgot to take #scale-chat of ignore, what is the rules on children? 13:49 < Gareth> Kids are definitely allowed to attend. 13:50 < herlo> sure, and I think it's encouraged no? 13:50 < Gareth> We generally dont charge for them if they're under 16 or so. 13:50 < Gareth> Definitely! 13:50 < herlo> cool, that's what I was after 13:50 < Gareth> We had quite a few last year....they all seemed to have a good time. 13:50 < herlo> the Fedorans will be sporting a few young'ns around is all 13:50 < Gareth> Good to hear! 13:50 < lcafiero> +1 Gareth 13:50 < herlo> yeah, we have the wii lined up to be used all day if they get bored 13:52 < herlo> I'm sure we'll have other activities for them. I plan on bringing scissors and some fedora media boxes for them to build 13:52 < lcafiero> Orv_work may want to do something with this, press-wise. Some of the other events -- especially Linux World -- are kid unfriendly, and it doesn't allow those of us with kids to attend. 13:52 < herlo> maybe we should also bring some skulladay.com pages too, that'll entertain them 13:52 < Gareth> yeah. he wrote something up last year too...I'm sure he'll write something up this year. 13:53 < herlo> we'll watch for it So this brings to my mind. What can we do to entertain children at our booth besides the OLPCs? I think that it'd be fun to have kids come around and make stuff at our booth. There are tons of good things on make.com and other places for kids. What do you guys think? Cheers, Clint

So far I have not heard from anyone from the Ambassadors team. I need a representative to add to the call-in email ASAP. John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With the Alpha Release for Fedora 11 scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, 2009, this means it is time to meet again with representatives from each of the teams to have our release readiness meeting. We usually have this meeting at 18:00 UTC (13:00 EST) the Wednesday before, which means next Wednesday, January 28, 2009, is the day. On Monday, January 26, 2009, I will be sending out the dial-in information and a meeting reminder to all the attendees. In the meantime I need to know who will be representing your group at these meetings for the Fedora 11 meetings. Usually this is the designated team leader, but I wanted to ask to make sure you coordinate within your team to make sure someone comes. When responding to this list, please CC me so that I am sure to see the reply. This message is going out to the respective mailings lists for these groups: Ambassadors Artwork/Design Documentation FESCo Infrastructure Marketing Quality Release Engineering Translation Websites Thanks, John

FAD at SCALE7x
by Paul W. Frields 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

I'm overjoyed that we've already got a great page up for the proposed FAD at SCALE7x: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_at_SCaLE_7x Can I get anyone to write a couple sentences for each of the bullet points ("Packaging fonts," "Documentation") that tell attendees the specific goals of FAD at SCALE7x? This will be used in a press release that Red Hat's press team is preparing. They want to include details, along with a link to that page. -- Paul W.

FW: 2009 Symposium
by Matt Domsch 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Andrew Hutton, organizer of the Linux Symposium (formerly in Ottawa, for the next 2 years in Montreal), has invited Fedora to host some form of event concurrent with this year's Symposium, the week of July 13. There was some positive interest on this when brought up in December, but then it went silent. Is anyone willing to take this on and drive such an event? -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -----Original Message----- From: Andrew J. Hutton [mailto:ajh@linuxsymposium.org] Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 10:48 AM To: Domsch, Matt Subject: 2009 Symposium I would love to pick up on the idea of hosting FedoraCon here in Montreal (I'm actually here for the weekend) and try to get something firmed up if possible.

[Fwd: Fwd: Call for Lectures/Stand: Grazer LinuxTage 2009]
by Oliver Falk 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi Gerold, David, Jörg and list! First of all; Sorry for forwarding a German mail. However. You, Germans (no offence - of course!); I don't know if you know the Grazer Linuxtage!? Well, doesn't mind, if you've never been in Graz, it's time :-P David, for you it's also a quite long travel, isn't it? Since my kids have birthday on 24th of April, I'm not sure if I can visit the Linuxtage this time. However. Maybe we should just find someone who organizes that Fedora DVDs are *there*. :-) And some poster/logo - whatever :-) I'm willing to help as good as I can - of course! Best, Oliver
