Hi all, I'm on the Linux Plumbers [1] planning committee this year, and I'm also heading up the embedded Linux mini-conference. While the "official" call for miniconference proposals hasn't actually been issued (real soon now, I promise!), the submission form [2] is now open, and embedded topic proposals are being accepted. Some initial ideas have already been discussed on the plumbers wiki[3], but now we need firm proposals to use in planning the miniconference. If there is anything embedded related that you'd like to discuss at plumbers, then I encourage you to submit a proposal. [1] http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010 [2] http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010/ocw/events/LPC2010MC/proposals [3] http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010:embedded_topics The miniconferences are working sessions to get developers from different projects into the same room. Focus is on discussing and solving problems instead of formal presentations. A good proposal includes a problem that needs to be solved, some potential solutions to discuss, and ideally identify individuals who's participation is important. Deadline for proposal submission is July 19th, so get those proposals in soon! If you have a good topic, but are unsure whether or not you'll be able to attend, please submit the proposal anyway. The miniconference format is flexable so we're able to handle a certain amount of uncertainty. For those who do want to make a formal presentation, we've do also have one track dedicated to the purpose. Presentation proposals can be submitted here [4]. We also have some slots set aside for BoFs [5].
