Buildroot:DeveloperDaysELCE2015

Location and date
The Buildroot community is organizing a meeting on October 3rd and 4th 2015, for Buildroot developers and contributors. This meeting will be a mixture of discussion and hacking session around the Buildroot project. This meeting takes place right before the Embedded Linux Conference Europe, in order to make it easy for participants to attend both events. It is not mandatory to attend both days.

The exact place for the meeting is not defined yet, but it will be accessible by common transportation from Dublin center.

Sponsors
We are currently looking for companies willing to sponsor the event. The sponsoring will be used to pay for the meeting room, the Saturday dinner for the participants or Buildroot T-shirts for the participants. Contributions in the range of 250 EUR to 500 EUR are sufficient.

Participants

 * 1) Thomas Petazzoni
 * 2) Yann E. MORIN
 * 3) Arnout Vandecappelle (unconfirmed)
 * 4) Luca Ceresoli
 * 5) Samuel Martin
 * 6) Maxime Hadjinlian
 * 7) Peter Korsgaard

Who can attend ?
This meeting is opened to all Buildroot users and developers. The event is free. However, we make it clear that it is not a training event about Buildroot aimed at newcomers. It is a meeting for Buildroot developers to make progress about various topics in Buildroot. It is recommended to already be a Buildroot contributor to participate to the event.
