Hi,

the agenda for the U-Boot Mini Summit in a few days in D?sseldorf has now been finalized[1]. It is very encouraging to see such a lot of high-class content and I'm very excited to also meet a lot of new people.

Please note that we would like to have as many custodians present as possible at 11:15 so that we can have a short round of introductions. I'm sure it will be a very pleasant experience to match names with faces known only from the mailing list so far :)

Also note that the agenda allows everybody to attend Toms talk "Redundant booting with U-Boot" at 16:30[2] and of course it has no chance to collide with Mareks talk "Secure and flexible boot with U-Boot" on Wednesday at 15:30[2].

Thanks for all the input so far and I'm looking forward to seeing you all in a few days!
Detlev

It's nice that the students coming to us already know Java.  We just
have to teach them how to program.

I would have liked to attend, but for personal reasons could not free myself up. Is there any possibility of a Google Hangout or anything similar?

Perhaps, is it better to insert 5-minute break between talks? Speakers might need to get something prepared. (connecting their laptop to the beamer, etc.)

That's of course unfortunate.

To be honest - I have no idea how to do this or if this is feasible. Last year Marek volunteered to try it, but it did not work out. IIRC the conference WiFi wasn't stable enough to do that.

Is anyone (who also attends) willing to try setting up such a Google Hangout this year again?

Best wishes

Of course. I did not explicitely include this in the agenda, but such a 5 minute break is what I'll strive to maintain.

Of course. I did not explicitely include this in the agenda, but such a 5 minute break is what I'll strive to maintain.

I would even propose to have a backup setup for slides presentation.

I remember I once tried to use a beamer attached to my Fedora-driven laptop and didn't succeed with that.

Moreover new gen laptops may only have like mini-DisplayPort output instead of VGA so there's a probability some laptops won't have a chance to be connected to existing (not that advanced/modern) beamer.

So given you guys have all presentations beforehand (I believe in for of PDFs) would be good to have an ability to display them if my laptop refuses to work with beamer again.

I fully agree and it is already in the works.

Indeed.

If one laptop fails then we still have enough redundancy to make it happen :)

Once the  implementation is  up and running,  it is still a trick to keep it
running.  In a normal,  closed implementation,  this is not a problem;  in a
system with metaobject protocols [..] there is the potential for spectacular
failure modes if certain situations are not properly anticipated.
