[Buildroot] Buildroot talk at ELCE

[Peter Korsgaard]

FYI,

As you might be aware, I'm doing a talk titled 'Buildroot: What is new'
this afternoon at the Embedded Linux Conference Europe. See the link
below for the slides:

http://peter.korsgaard.com/buildroot-whats-new-elce2013.pdf

I'm trying to make it clear that Buildroot is very much alive, with lots
of activity.

Most items in the slides have already been discussed, but I would very
much appreciate if you could take a quick look and let me know if I
missed something important or said anything stupid.

Thanks!

Just a small nit. Since you mention Tensilica in the slides I thought it's 
worth mentioning that Tensilica is no fully merged into Cadence, just like ARC 
is merged into Synosys.

Did you bring your construction helmet for the talk?

Page 6: depencies --> dependencies
Page 11: 200-300 patches gets --> get
Page 17: should we mention something about musl support?

Best regards,
Thomas

Thanks, fixed all. I added '- musl libc support' under the external
toolchain support heading.

  slide 3: There are at least 4 Pengutronix guys at the conference, so I 
guess you should mention PTXdist :-)

  slide 4: No single company steering: actually, no company at all is 
steering - though most of us use buildroot professionally, our buildroot 
work is mostly on a volunteer basis. Right?

  Arnout

True. I didn't add it as I couldn't find a ptxdist logo, and I didn't
wanted to start adding companies - But I guess I could add the
pengutronix logo.

Yes, in the sense that no company mgmt is telling us in what direction
Buildroot need to move, but a lot of us are using Buildroot in the
context of our work, so there will always be some influence ..

  Yeah, but in Tizen for instance, there is also no single company 
steering - there are two :-) So I think it's important to make that 
distinction.

How I read it was "there's not a single company steering buildroot",
not as "buildroot is not steered by one company alone but by several".
I can see how one can misread it though...
