[Buildroot] Talk at Embedded Linux Conference Europe

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

As planned, I gave the talk ? Using Buildroot for real projects ? on
Wednesday last week at the Embedded Linux Conference Europe. The room
was crowded with 50+ people, a pretty good audience compared to many
other technical talks I've seen during the conference.

Covering the 40+ slides consumed almost the entire time slot, so there
was only time left for a few questions at the end. Generally speaking,
I had the feeling that there is definitely an interest in Buildroot, as
an alternative to bigger things like OE or Yocto. For example, I went to
the Yocto Bird-of-a-Feather session, and the first 20 minutes of the
session was spent answering questions of the audience about how Yocto
compares to Buildroot, what are the relative advantages/drawbacks, etc.

The final version of the slides are available at:

I intend to contribute some of those elements to the official
documentation. I also would like to thank all the persons who reviewed
my slides and maybe very useful comments. This definitely helped in
making the talk better.

For those interested, there is a picture of myself giving the talk with
the beautiful Buildroot t-shirt (I wish I had a yellow helmet to give
the talk):

The video of the talk (as well as the video of all ELCE talks) is
currently being encoded. I hope to have everything online by the end of
the week, or at worst early next week. I will send an e-mail when the
video is available.

The Buildroot Developer Day report is being reviewed by Peter
currently, I hope to be able to send it at worst tomorrow.

Regards,

Thomas
