OpenEmbedded at Linuxtag 2009

OpenEmbedded at Linuxtag 2009

[Florian Boor]

Hi!

I have some good news: We have been accepted for a project booth at LinuxTag.
This means that we have a booth at the largest Linux fair in Europe and the
opportunity to get in touch with users, companies and other projects there.

LinuxTag takes place in Berlin, Germany from June 24 to 27.

I can take care about organising this event for us and about some basic
equipment and a few devices. It would be great to have some more of us there to
man the booth. I can order exhibitor passes for us, so if you like to help
please let me know soon: In contrast to last year we do not get a defined number
of these but we have to register one by one by submitting the name.

Greetings

Florian

I will attend LinuxTag this year and will help to man the booth. Can 
take some devices with me too.

Can we think about hotel near Berlin Messe to group in one place?

I will also make it. (Very fortunate timing with already planned 
vacation:) Hopefully, I can bring some embedded SDR stuff I have been 
working on.

I'm interested in this also.

This is excellent.

I cannot join unfortunately, I'm in Portugal at that time for a
wedding party and probably some vacation included :-)

I do have the poster design PDFs which we used at FOSDEM this year.

Mickey: can you provide sources for contrib/marketing/ material 
(flyer/poster)?

We need to update them to new logo and print some amount of flyers for 
LinuxTag. A5 prints costs ~50 EUR for 2500 pieces here.

Another things which we should finally do are:

- badges for booth crew (with OE logo, fullname, irc nick, email)
- businesscards for booth crew (with OE logo/infos, fullname, etc)

At FOSDEM we had anonymous people on booth...

What about AMOLED badges? That would be more up to date with technology.

Better. Much better.
Don't know a good and inexpensive source though.

Maybe...but the AMOLED controller that runs it need to run uclinux, and
be built with openembedded.
If the CPU/microcontroller is an arm then the device would then be
called ARMOLED.

Ah, TFT badges are what you need.  Should be easy to arrange with all
these surplus collies.
