Embedded Linux has a new champion

This is a repost of a blog entry I wrote over at the Yocto Project web site. You can follow our developments there, and join the community.

I am really delighted that we now have a full-time Community Manager on the Yocto Project: he is Jeff Osier-Mixon, better known on IRC and email as "jefro".

OSCON: The Tech Event With a Little Something for Everyone

One of the most widely talked-about tech conferences every year is the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON), and with good reason. The Portland, Oregon-based conference is slated for July 19-23, 2010, and pulls in attendees from all over the country with varying levels of technical experience from activists and developers to IT managers and sysadmins.

You show me mine, I'll expo you yours, OSCON

Why do I love the show floor at conferences? It's almost impossible to have a reasonable conversation with the poor folks doing booth duty. Often this is because they might not be working in the area that you are interested in, or the noise level is just too high to have a good talk.

Sadly, I am addicted to technology, and the show floor is a great place for a quick fix.

Join me at OSCON 2009

I'm speaking in the OSCON 2009 show floor area at 3:00PM. I'll be in the Intel booth (about as obvious as can be). Come by and hear me talk about Moblin.

Rob Bradford gave an excellent talk right after the keynotes on develoment of applications for Moblin. I really like Rob's talks, because he is quite energetic and makes good use of photos in his slides, which don't look at all like most Intel presentation slides.
