Brief summary about the presentation:
1. I plan on speaking a litle about myself, and how I got involved in coreboot (elaborate on above).
2. Give a brief history on coreboot and how it started.
3. Go over some of the features of coreboot.
4. Go over some of the great tools that have sprouted off of the coreboot tree.
5. Talk about how the code process flows and how you(audiance) can start to develop coreboot.
6. Open for Question and Answer time.
--------------------------------------
Do you guys think there is anything else I should touch on?
You can talk about the Makefile too. How Coreboot is built in a typical scenario and by what tools.

You mean Kconfig and crossgcc?

well, usually, I just do a make kconfig pick a mainboard, drop out of Kconfig, type make
And then explain that this simple config/build process takes tens of minutes to *hours* on many other firmware/BIOS systems.

I like to give a demo of a build, just so people can see the Kconfig interface and how quickly it goes.
I'm been told EFI takes *hours* to build, for example. Coreboot is a nice contrast.

Ok, good idea. I am also bringing some boards for a live demo :-) By the way Ron, is there a page on the wiki or somewhere that gives a little history I can use?

"Hours" is probably an exaggeration - but Tiano definitely takes longer than coreboot: 15-30 Minutes versus a couple of seconds. With Tiano you get a full OS with an object model, dynamic linker, drivers and filesystems, and that comes at a price (longer build time) - whether you need it or not ;-)

Is Tiano smaller or larger than Linux at this point?

It's hard to beat Linux in bloat: smaller
