Capitole du Libre is THE open-source/free-software event that takes place each year in Toulouse, France. Turns out that half of Bootlin’s team is precisely based in Toulouse, and obviously we are big fan of open-source/free-software, and therefore we have always supported, contributed and participated to Capitole du Libre in one way or another. Bootlin’s CEO Thomas Petazzoni is actually one of the founders of the Capitole du Libre event, back in 2007-2008.
This year, Capitole du Libre will take place on November 18-19, as usual at ENSEEIHT, an engineer school located in the heart of Toulouse.
Bootlin is first financially supporting the event by being one of the Platine sponsors. Thanks to this, we will have a booth at the event, so if you want to meet us, coming to Capitole du Libre is a good idea.
Secondly, Bootlin is also contributed to the event by having 4 of its engineers give talks:
- Louis Chauvet will give a talk titled Rust in Linux, where are we?
- Romain Gantois will give a talk titled Bootup and recovery of ARM platforms, of course focused on the Snagboot project
- Michael Opdenacker will give a talk titled How to reduce its electric energy consumption with GNU/Linux?
- Thomas Petazzoni will give a talk titled Discover and understand Linux in embedded systems
Attending Capitole du Libre is free, so we definitely recommend all free-software/open-source users, developers, contributors to join this great event, and we look forward to meeting the local open-source community at Capitole du Libre!
