Embedded Linux Conference 2008 Technical Showcase

• We are happy to be planning a technical showcase again this year at Embedded Linux Conference. This Wiki page will guide you in giving your demonstration. For conference details, please follow this link to the conference website:

  Snapshot of ELC 2006 Technical Showcase

• Demos will be on Tuesday, April 15, from 5:30-6:30pm. Demos will be located in the Hahn Auditorium lobby.

  • Demonstration setup : Demos can be set up any time on Tuesday before 5:30pm. Please check in at the registration desk when setting up.

  • Tear down : At 6:30pm the demos will be closed. Please take down your items at that time.

Objective

• "Seeing is believing!" Unlike in Desktop or Server applications of Linux, in embedded systems Linux technology is usually unseen. Although it is a challenge, we want to expose Linux software and techniques so that other developers who are interested in this technology can learn, and become potential contributors themselves. We hope that through opening up technical details and projects (in the way of Open Source development), these demonstrations will provide insights that are helpful to developers.

Criteria

• No commercial intention.
  • The Embedded Linux Conference does not have any place for sales or marketing. The style is to be like the Ottawa Linux Symposium.
• Demonstrations should be of software that is available under GPL or LGPL compatible licenses.
