Emdebian workshop at Debconf5, Helsinki

June 14th, 2005

There will be an Embedded Debian workshop at Debconf5. This is being held in Helsinki from 10th-17th July. See http://www.debconf.org/debconf5/

Wookey will be giving a short Demo on Embedded Linux 'the Debian way' aimed at those who are not familiar with this area, but perhaps would like to understand more about cross compiling, building small filesystems, and downloading images to interesting hardware.

Following on from that will be a 2-3 day hackfest on Embedded Debian working on using the existing tools to build real systems, examining alternatives and future possibilites, such as the good bits from scratchbox (CPU transparency), multi-arch (potentially a neat way to help cross-build), debian-installer. Getting people from all these groups together in the same room will hopefully produce some really good ideas about how best Embedded Debian should progress, and get some more people enthused about the concepts so we can make faster progress than our current glacial pace.
