Hello all,
I think we should bring the upcoming U-Boot mini-summit in Edinburgh back to attention - it's still more than two months, so no reason to panic yet, but as we all know, time flies like an arrow...

Hi fellow U-Boot developers,
people meeting us at our booth at the Embedded World trade show in Nürnberg this year may already have heard rumours about it but now it is official - there will be an U-Boot mini-summit at the Emdedd Linux Conference Europe in Edinburgh, UK [1].
Thanks to the wonderful people at the Linux Foundation, we will have some space in the afternoon of thursday 24th that we can use to present and discuss topics of interest for the immediate future of the project.
Currently we believe that it makes sense to plan for 4-5 short talks in the range of 20-30 minutes with following Q&A. The audience will very likely be "tech level" and the presentations are thus allowed to have "indecent technical content" :)
Of course everybody is invited to suggest a presentation, but an informal poll turned up these topics of interest:
- Driver model
- Kconfig
- Patman tutorial
- U-Boot configuration through device tree
- Falcon boot for everybody
- DFU
- Android fastboot
The organization of the mini-summit is up to our discretion and thus somewhat less formal than the "regular" ELCE tracks, but we would like to encourage people to also submit U-Boot related talks through the regular CFP[2] if they are of wide interest.
Having agreed on our schedule, we will be able to get it included in the official conference schedule and thus hopefully get a broader visibility. To make this work we should finalize our schedule around the end of the official CFP which is July 21st, but of course the sooner, the better.
Please inform us if you would like to attend in order to get an idea of the expected presence. If neccessary we will have to look for a larger place early on.
I'll be there.
-Scott
