Dear coreboot folks,
the Desktop Summit 2011 [1] will take place in Berlin from August 6th– 12th. The first three days will consist of keynotes and talks [2].
There seem to be some open slots on Monday and maybe on the weekend evening too. I am CCing Lennart Poettering as one of the organizers(?).
Yes, I running the paper committee of the summit.
At this time the talks schedule (sat-mon) is finalized and all slots filled. So we cannot add anything to that part of the schedule anymore.
For the BoF/workshop part of the conference (i.e. tue-fri) the deadline for having a bof in the printed schedule is already passed, too. However, we kept a big chunk of the rooms for ad-hoc bofs, which will be handed out first come first serve, and registering a slot will be done via a wiki. You are welcome register a room from these at the conference.
I know this is on short notice and the Desktop Summit is normally associated with GNOME and KDE and therefore coreboot seems out of place. But in my opinion – if accepted – coreboot could reach *developers* who might be interested in the possibilities of coreboot and do not know about this.
If we have a BoF room available (and I think we do) then I see no reason why coreboot should not be able to get one.
I am only running the paper committe, not the bof commitee. If you have any questions regarding bofs, consider pinging Jon Nordby (jononor@gmail.com) directly who's looking after the bofs.
Hope this is helpful,
Lennart
