Together with the announcement of our free mainlining offer in our Linux kernel and bsp development services, we are pleased to announce the availability of new conference videos.
The CELF Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE) and the NLUUG Autumn Conference on Mobile Computing took place last November in Ede, in the Netherlands.
For those who don’t know them yet, the Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) and ELCE are in our opinion the most interesting conferences for embedded Linux system developers. They cover only interesting topics, such as power management, boot time, flash storage, security, graphics, mobile applications and many more.
This time, four people shot videos: Ruud Derwig (NXP), Tim Bird (Sony), Thomas Petazzoni and Michael Opdenacker (both from Bootlin). Then, Thomas took care of reading the tapes and DVDs, and encoding them to Ogg/Theora, all this in just a few minutes of manual intervention, thanks to his super automated scripts.
Here are all the videos:

Speakers were supposed to post their slides on the CELF Wiki, but some of them haven’t done it yet.
If you don’t know which video to start with, here are the talks that Thomas Petazzoni and I preferred:
- Embedded maintainers: Community and Embedded Linux, by David Woodhouse
- Tools and techniques for reducing bootup time by Tim Bird
- Adventures in real-time performance tuning, by Frank Rowand
- Overview of SquashFS, by Philip Lougher
- How chip makers should (not) support free software, by Harald Welte
- Rich GUI without pain, by Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri
Of course, these are just our personal recommendations, from the talks we managed to attend. We are sure that many other ones are worth recommending.
