So, I've submitted a presentation for the Embedded Linux Conference [1], that will be held from April, 6th to April, 8th in San Francisco, US and this presentation has been accepted [2]. I will both present why systems like Buildroot are necessary (cross-compilation is painful, sharing recipes is nice, and having an automated and reproducible build systems is a must) and then how Buildroot fill these needs, how it works and how it can be extended. I'll try to share my slides prior to the conference so that the Buildroot community can help in improving the presentation so that the project will be promoted as best as possible.
