Hello,
I am happy to announce that coreboot will be exhibiting at LinuxTag in Berlin again this year, following up on our presence there in 2007 and 2008.
If you have any ideas about something fun that we haven't tried at a booth before, or if there is something in particular that you would like to see, and of course certainly if there is something that you would like to prepare yourself, I would love to hear about it!
If you have experience from our booths in the past maybe you can comment on what must be improved this time?
Everyone who has a chance to make it to Berlin should make sure to come check the expo out! LinuxTag is a fantastic opportunity to meet others who are active in or interested in open source software. Lots of fun! :)

Thanks for organizing this! I hope the interactions with LinuxTag and Messe Berlin were less frustrating than last year.

If everything goes well, I'll have external flasher support ready in flashrom before LinuxTag. That would certainly be an interesting way to exhibit flashrom.

Having someone who is living in Berlin at the booth was a definite advantage in 2008. Make sure we have Paul and Pierre on board again.

Yes indeed.

Zero frustration so far!

Yes indeed! Do you think you'll make it to Berlin this year to show it off yourself? :)
It would be great to have some external programmers there! And if there's a simple, proven design we might even be able to sell it cheap in the booth.
I have mentioned to the expo organizers that we could be interested in a booth (or sub-booth) for flashrom as well, but it depends on how much staff we can organize. If only a few people can help out at the expo I think it's better to stick with a single booth and dedicate a part of it to flashrom. (Will still make sure to mention flashrom to the expo organizers though, so that it gets it's own info in the printed expo material.)

I agree! I hope you guys would like to come again this year? :)

Nice.

I hope so, but my budget and university deadlines keep suggesting a "no". No idea about the final decision yet.

Yes, that would be an awesome way to raise funds. Another possibility would be to sell pre-modded M2A-VM. (Or my top hat flash for these boards if that works out.)

Actually, I'd prefer to have flashrom+coreboot at one single booth. That way, nobody has to be sent to another booth if one question is too hard for one of our staff.

What is this?

I hope to build something similar for M2A-VM boards. The pinout and my multimeter measurements certainly look favourable.
Ah yes. A generic top hat flash PCB with two or three jumpers would probably handle almost every soldered LPC/FWH chip out there.

Sorry for replying this late. If you need a helping hand, I would like to give you one or two. Just drop me a message.
