[Tim Bird <tim.bird@am.sony.com>]

Sorry in advance for this non-technical post, but I figured
some embedded kernel developers (especially in Europe) might
be interested in this.

== SUMMARY

The CE Linux Forum is pleased to announce the program for
Embedded Linux Conference Europe, 2010.  This event
brings together embedded Linux experts from Europe and around the world.
This year the event is planned for October 26-28, in Cambridge, UK.
We are happy to be co-located with the GStreamer conference, to be
held October 26 in the same venue.

The sessions cover basic embedded Linux bring-up and an
