FYI: I applied for an OpenEmbedded stand at 2011's FOSDEM. This particular event, which is growing in size and importance every year, will hopefully again be a nice place for bringing OE contributors and those that are interested in the project together. I tried hard to justify the need for a 2nd table this year. IMO the description I gave them explains both the problems with to little and reasons for extra space in a good way. We'll get notification about our acceptance in the second week in december and I'll let the list know how it worked out. :) *** a call to our downstream projects **** I explicitly ask our many downstream projects to get in contact with us if they won't be at the conference itself but still want to be present through OE and our stand. I ask those who can reach the respective persons from the downstream projects to forward this message (putting me on CC would be nice). For the records here is what I wrote into the forms of the stand request:= project description: OpenEmbedded provides are build environment for cross-compiling, packaging and creation of images for Linux-based embedded systems. The project gained a foot-hold in the commercial embedded Linux industry but is itself completely community- and volunteer-based. Popular projects that use OpenEmbedded at its core are the yocto project, gumstix, Always Innovating TouchBook, poky as well as Beagleboard/Pandaboard. OpenEmbedded supports building software from a wide category of sections and includes various popular programming languages such as C, C++, Perl, Python, Java, Vala and more. The project's technical advancement is governed by its Technical Steering Commitee. The 'OpenEmbedded e.V.' represents the projects in the legal field and allows easy communication with companies, other legal bodies. Every OpenEmbedded contributor can become a member of the foundation. stand description: The OpenEmbedded stand is manned by several long-term contributors of the project. We will show the latest advancements in soft- and hardware in the embedded Linux field that people working on the project have done in spare time and/or work-time projects. The stand gives interested individuals the possibilities to have good talks about all things embedded, Linux and, of course, the OpenEmbedded project as well. comments/remarks: The OpenEmbedded project would be pleased to have the possibility to use two tables this year. Attendances in the past years, to which we are very grateful that we could be there, have shown, that having only one table for all the delicate embedded devices (and their cabling) gives nearly no room for leaflets, posters etc. Usually a bunch of people gather around the devices leaving other no space to reach the table. Being an important event, FOSDEM is often well attended by OpenEmbedded contributors, so that we always have way more than 2 people being close to the stands. If the room and table situation permits we would kindly ask the FOSDEM organisers for a seconds table this year.
