FOSDEM 2006

FOSDEM 2006

[Yoshinori K. Okuji]

Hello,

As you may know, FOSDEM 2006 is planned at the end of February. And, they 
started to accept applications to DevRooms:

http://www.fosdem.org/index/press/devrooms_call_for_presence_2006

For now, I really have no idea if I am available at that time, but I promise 
that I would go, if my schedule permits.

So I have some questions:

- How many people would like to attend FOSDEM?

- Would anybody like to make a presentation of GRUB 2 or Multiboot 
Specification 2?

- Do we want to have our own DevRoom or share with another group as we did 
last year?

In my opinion, sharing a DevRoom is better, if we are not too many, and 
another group accepts it, because we should listen to what OS developers 
think. Such a group can be Hurd (like last year), OpenSolaris, or a GNU/Linux 
distribution project (such as Debian or Ubuntu).

Same for me.  I will go if there are no exams or so the week after
that.

I am willing to do that, although I suck at giving presentations.
Both one or two talks are fine for me.  I can give a talk about last
years changes (assuming about the same people will attend) and
multiboot 2.

For two talks, we won't get a room.

Right, I agree.

for me, and if I find time to improve the work before that, it would be great
to discuss with everyone the merge from etherboot with grub2 for netboot support.

Cool!  What's the status of netboot support?  Perhaps it would be nice
if at least some part of it can be merged or so?

ok, here is the status :
http://www.inma.ucl.ac.be/~guffens/grub2_netboot/index.html

you can see there that it is possible to cat file and I was able to boot with
it. Also it is very easy to use the driver from etherboot. The problems are :

1) it has not changed since the 23rd of june and grub has changed a lot since
2) the code does not intgrate vey well into grub as I used a lot of code from
etherboot directly.

I should rewrite every sub component and send them one by one.

Hi,

Who will go to FOSDEM 24th-26th of February?  Vincent Guffens and
Vincent Pelletier will most likely be there (right?) and I will
certainly be there.  Unfortunately we do not have a hackers room and
can not share a room.  I expected the Hurd hackers would get a room,
but that unfortunately did not happen.

It would be nice if we could meet somewhere during FOSDEM.

Yes, I am definitively going and for those of you who would be interested, I
can provide accommodation at a friend's place not too far from the FOSDEM
place (around 20 min on food, possibility to take a bus).
