Hotel Information
We are recommending the same hotel for the Embedded Linux Summit as for
LinuxCon Japan. This is the Park Hotel
Tokyo which is located in
southeast Tokyo, in the Shimbashi district of the city.
If you are attending LinuxCon, you can use the Linux Foundation Room
rate, of 15,000 yen (about \$175) per night. See instructions on the
LinuxCon Japan Hotel
page for
making a reservation.

Agenda
The agenda is being discussed on the summit mailing list.
Here is the draft that Tim proposed for different topics for the
meeting:
1. mainline gap
1.1 version gap is most prevalent form
1.2 how to reduce it?
1.2.1 can stable release maintenance help with this?
1.2.2 patch mining - pros and cons
1.2.3 proxy contributors - pros and cons
1.2.4 development methods: git vs. git+quilt vs. big honking vendor tarballs!
2. architecture-specific issues (ARM, MIPS, x86)
2.1 SOC vendor tree isolation
2.2 defconfigs
2.3 recent industry initiatives (e.g. Linaro)
3. SMP in embedded
4. Android current status
4.1 kernel requirements
4.2 mainline gap
4.2.1 how it's managed
4.2.2 plan for closing gap

6. WebOS current status (same sub-points as above) (Bdale?)
7. The state of flash file systems
8. embedded power management

8.2 runtime PM
9. industry contribution rate - how to increase it
9.1 impedances to industry participation in open source
9.1.1 systematically identifying impedances
10. industry and community pain points
10.1 industry pain points - what do developers spend their time doing?
10.2 community pain points - what to developers spend their time doing?
10.3 need a survey or are attendees representative?

11.1 status of current work
11.2 ideas for future work
12. Automated testing
12.1 is it of any use?

Mini summit followup meeting in the UK
Russell King won’t be coming to the meeting in Tokyo. Since a number of
us will be in England at ELC Europe in late October, we’ve decided to
have a brief meeting there as well, to include Russell and continue
discussing some of the ideas raised in Tokyo.
