| Three Gentoo events coming up |
Mar. 07, 2006
The Gentoo Linux team has announced calls for papers for two upcoming events -- the Gentoo UK Conference, in London; and FrOSCon, in Bonn. A Freescale Gentoo Seminar at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, Calif. is also coming up.
A group of UK-based Gentoo developers and users has started initial planning for the 2006 Gentoo UK users-and-developers conference, based upon the success of the 2004 and 2005 events, the Gentoo team said on its website. This year's event will be hosted in London, and the provisional dates are June 10th and 11th.
Email George Prowse as soon as possible if you have a topic you'd like to present.
FrOSCon is a new two-day conference on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) that aims to establish itself as the largest event of its kind in Rhineland. It takes place June 24th and 25th at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, in St. Augustin, near Bonn, Germany. The focus of the conference is a comprehensive range of talks about current topics in free software and open source. Space will be provided for developers of free software and open-source projects to organize their own developer meetings or even their own program.
The call for papers is open until March 15th, and developer rooms and booth space are also available for interested project teams.
Sergei Larin, Senior Applications Engineer at Freescale Semiconductor, will give his first class on Gentoo April 4th at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose (April 3-7, McEnery Convention Center). The joint presentation with Gentoo developer Pieter Van den Abeele will explore the possibilities of reducing the time to market for PowerPC-based devices using open-source software, the Gentoo project said.
Freescale decided to go with Gentoo as the foundation for that approach because of its configurability and the ease of applications in the embedded market, the team said. The scope of this Linux design seminar will be how to build a "Home Media Center with Linux on the PowerPC architecture."
