Specially the GNU concept (non-technical) ! I was expecting a bit more explanation about user space (as it is the experience I lack the more). Otherwise : Very good	4	Small transition slides between chapter: - 1 at the end: Helping to put back the context of the seen - 1 at the start: introducing where the new concept is similar ... and quickly the main difference of the context.					5	Impressive			4		4	1 table per person (requested at the start) to let everyone enough space => Good. Projector quality could be review for later training...	4	Nearly perfect (same laptop as mine but with cheaper graphical card)	4		5	With the kernel training, I feel now great! I still have lack on some features in the user space... But I hope to have gain the confidence to be autonomous.	3	I do not know yet			7		3	It is my second linux session. If there were a domotic/robotic training session (example how to control small motors): I would invest in it ! Other of you sessions could be good	4	Many of them... But from the Embedded Linux system development (before RT chapter): it was great. Could not get deeper ;.-)		Real Time... it could be related to scheduler chapter in the Kernel training? But actually it is very hard to recommend anything.

This part is the most challenging, as it is NOT have progressive interaction with the system. + Proposal to build "user" notes progressively/per chapter or per interface. For instance I have : Commands--U_boot.txt. Commands-- Pre-requisites.txt (to list all the apt-get) Commands--basic_kernel_compile (to list basic repeated) Commands--BusyBox_shell.txt Commands-- ...	Difficult for me, but fine. I can not propose yet other feature as I have not finished.	4	2	Sometime not: But the idea to let the most advance person occupied is good. The class was nearly homogeneous => No real issue.	From more than 100 km / 60 miles, same country

Maybe take slides out about what Linux is at the beginning to allow more time later on in the course. Maybe put these slides as a pre-course read. Maybe a good idea would be to arrange some evening events after the day has ended, this way topics and other experience of the tutor could be gained.	5	Many links and tips on what to do. Covers every possible combination of options					4	Very knowledgeable and open to opinion, only 4 because there's always more to learn ;)			5	Seemed to have a lot of experience and knowledge in every area. Only downside is maybe took a tangent off topic as more and more questions were asked!	5	Could have bigger tables as not very deep. Room was reasonable size although if class was full then might be a bit cramped. Environment was great apart from other business events going on next door were a bit noisy at times (upgrade room partition with better noise isolation?).	4	Recent middle-high range computers. Do the job (+ a bit more) that they're needed to do. Board is great for covering all topics needed, unsure what to use it for in an application afterwards apart from testing development compared to a rasp pi/beagle black. Could do with a range of application usages for the board included in slides.	4	Very Well apart from PayPal needs shooting!	4	some things I knew but the course put into perspective how this knowledge fits into the embedded linux system development structure. (e.g. how yocto works and hence will be easier to debug)	5	Slides on manual compilation are important, but at this time maybe the labs on this aren't needed due to tools like buildroot/openembedded/yocto. This would help time constraints in the course time. Overall, found course very informative and after many performance issues with project, I believe I have the skills and information needed to develop a system that will resolve these issues			6		5	Both Yocto and Kernel Drivers course. Yocto to confirm self-taught experience, Kernel Drivers to learn deeper into how to build embedded devices. Only if I had the budget!	5	Building own U-Boot/Kernel and using nfs/tftp to connect with target. Will help improve productivity in current project.		manually compiling packages. Lab guide seems to keep going back over the same commands adding one thing at a time. In theory, it's good to read and see what each new property will add and what errors you'll get in between, but in practise it seemed to waste a lot of time, and eventually you learn to skip the section to the command with all the properties included	Open training materials that can be checked in advance, Language, Hardware giveaway (public sessions only), Access to full feedback from participants to previous sessions, Recognise company from talks at ELCE 2013	Presentations in conferences	Board Support Package development: make Linux / Android support your new hardware, Boot time reduction, Real-time: implementation and bug fixing, Technical support, Investigating and fixing bugs		Was there to help, but made sure that we learnt what we were doing. Any issue we had, he would spend time going through it step by step with us in control of computer.	3	4	Most were useful and helped gained experience and confidence of labs. Flash File systems lab could be rearranged into a more logical order. (i.e. downloading and flashing through tftp, set bootargs for MTD partitions, THEN edit rcS file)	A range, some mostly reading, others easy and straight forward, some testing but good as built on information that was covered in previous labs and slides. This helped learning.	3	2	Was not able to finish Labs in time. Could of spent less time at beginning going through what Linux is and it's benefits as I believe most people will know this already. Could keep slides but just skip over quickly as not adding much value and people can read and understand very easily in their own time.	From a foreign country

I believe we focused a bit too much on cross compilation and in the real time.		5						5				5		5		5		5		5		5	It will be essential on every day basis.			7	Keep it rolling and write a book! ;) Great success to all of you!	5	I would like to learn more on hardware integration, writing the dts files, power management and linux drivers.	5	The work on the board.		Real time was a bit too deep for this course. I believe we should only have learned it in a more superficial way, not every way of doing it.
