FOSDEM2010 devroom needs speakers :)

[Luc Verhaegen]

http://www.coreboot.org/FOSDEM_2010

I am not entirely sure when the FOSDEM organizers will need their 
schedule data for printing the folder, but i doubt there is much time 
left.

Therefor we should try to finalize the schedule for our devroom ASAP.

This means that for each of the 6 available slots, the following needs 
to be available on the wiki page: speaker name, talk title and talk 
abstract.

I remember that after some limited armtwisting Peter agreed to hold the 
"main" coreboot talk and carldaniel agreed to hold the "main" flashrom 
talk.

Next to that, i was going to talk about board enable RE-ing, you can see 
an example of the information that needs to be collected on
http://www.coreboot.org/FOSDEM_2010

Thanks.

Hi all,

I think I could have a talk too. I could talk bit about coreboot and ACPI and
maybe the suspend/resume stuff?

Ideas?

Ok, so

Rudolf Marek - ACPI and Suspend/Resume under coreboot

So far, right after Peter sounds like a good spot for this. 4 talks, 2 
slots remaining :)

Any abstract i can put up on the wiki?

Hi again,

Btw what is the duration of the talk?
> Rudolf Marek - ACPI and Suspend/Resume under coreboot

Ever wanted to know more about ACPI? The aim of the talk is to introduce
the software part of ACPI as well as provide the necessary hardware details to 
get the bigger picture. The tour through Coreboot ACPI implementation will be 
given. Suspend and resume procedure will be presented with all nifty parts 
explained.

Thats it. I think I need like hour or hour and half for this. Do you like it?
What sort of audience should I expect?

Perhaps it could even start with a question - what OS needs to know about the 
hardware -> and then show how it is connected to the ACPI (irq routing, PM, PCI 
buses). When done, one could show how this is implemented in Coreboot/what files 
and what does it do. Plus perhaps some hints how to port ACPI to some new board. 
At the end I would like to describe the suspend/resume with some details and 
pitfalls.

Maybe some "a" or "the" is missing in the abstract. We don't use them in Czech 
language so I don't have big "sense" for them.

Thanks,
Rudolf

Dam I wish I could be there!
Sounds like it is going to be a pretty good agenda.
Is anyone going to get all the talks on video (crossing my fingers)?

Aim for 45 minutes. Slots are 1h, but people move in and out on the 
hourly edges anyway, and then there is some time to resync, and get 
stuff set up for the next talk, etc. So aim for 45 minutes, if it is 
a bit more, then no problem, you will get stopped at the hour.

Developers and advanced users, i think full house easily (in this case 
50 people), everyone is very friendly and helpful on fosdem.

I know, SUSE has a prague office :)

All sounds good, but you will have to tone it down to ~45 minutes.

Or Rudolf can split this up into two talks.

Thanks,

a 45 minute talk is pretty enduring, not only for the speaker but also 
for the public :)

But when not all slots are filled up, then nothing stops this, but we 
will pause for a bit on the hour.

Any chance the talks are going to get captured on video?

I could do any combination of talks from 25C3 (intro to coreboot and
payloads), FreedomHEC (stronger focus on working with vendors) and
26C3 (looks at the structure of coreboot source and goes through the
2009 developments in and around the project).

If I'm doing all three then please schedule something else in
between. :)
