All flights are going to Madrid, they have a new Terminal 4, a.k.a Terminator 4. Be aware, that people lose baggage and flights because flighing gates are 20-25 minutes away from security point, and a long way from checking point. Take this as a *WARNING* and please take care with your baggage. Also baggage handling is automatic and i think they really need some emdebian geeks to stay over there for a couple
months fixing their stuff. Please *DO NOT LOSE YOUR GADGETS*.

    * I would like to work on adding support for partitioning MTD flash into parted/partman. This would make it possible to install Debian onto MTD flash, naturally.
    * If someone has the possibility to bring a Linkstation Pro/Live we could probably add support for it into d-i on site.
    * I will bring my Buffalo Kurobox Pro and two USB serial consoles.
    * I have not looked at uClibc nor dietlibc, yet, but I am interested in them both.

 * Aurelien Jarno
    * Reduce the size of glibc and tzdata on Emdebian (and switching to eglibc)
    * Reduce the number of uninstallable packages on arm and armel
    * Fix the kernel for the BCM47xx CPUs and build the corresponding Debian kernel package
    * Build a Debian kernel package for the Nokia N810
    * Get the arm buildds ready for Lenny (security + proposed-updates)

  • Support SH cross toolchain

Hardware and interests

Since we are embedded, instead of say, s390, getting target hardware transported is easy. One of the advantages of meeting physically we exploit is meeting with systems you don't deal with usually. putting them in handluggage is good idea :)
