Categorized Videos Proposal

= Proposal = This page is a proposal for creating a set of topic-area pages to hold links to talks & videos from past ELC and ELCE events, so that information on a particular topic is collected in one place, for easy reference.

= Tasks =
 * decide on the categories for talks
 * note: some talks will likely defy categorization
 * need to start a category list:
 * RealTime
 * Boot time
 * Size
 * File systems
 * Networking
 * embedded protocols (mqtt, 6lowpan, etc.)
 * Security
 * Updates
 * Legal
 * Audio
 * Video
 * Upstreaming
 * Build systems
 * Yocto Project
 * Buildroot
 * others? (OpenWRT, homebrew)
 * Robotics
 * Drones
 * (or do we want just a "verticals" page)
 * Automotive
 * kernel subsystems:
 * USB
 * Wireless
 * video4linux
 * GPIO
 * SPI
 * MTD
 * how narrow do we want the topics?
 * decide if talk may be included on more than one page
 * decide layout for talk information:
 * obvious elements: event, date, speaker, title, presentation link, video link
 * do we want a talk summary? If so, where would we get it from?
 * some abstracts for previous events are still available (e.g. see https://www.celinux.org/elc_europe07/sessions.html)
 * how about a rating?
 * how about some notation to indicate a significant or historic talk (there are some worth highlighting, IMHO)
 * link to transcript if available?
 * link to press coverage (e.g. lwn.net) if available
 * how long will that take to research, for each talk?
 * create pages
 * create overview page
 * create template for individual pages
 * create pages
 * add information about each talk to correct page(s)

= Plan =
 * have a planning meeting
 * create timeline
 * do some initial pages, and tweak page design and categories
 * 1st review
 * solicit more volunteers?

= Resources =
 * ELC Presentations - links to all presentations pages for ELC and ELCE
 * https://embeddedlinuxconference.com/ - links to all presentation pages, and some event pages (where abstracts might be found)
 * https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/ - lwn.net kernel index (shows kernel topic categories)
