Title: Linaro - Engineering resources for the ARM Linux community

Abstract:

Linaro is a not-for-profit engineering organization created in June 2010
by ARM, Texas Instruments, Freescale, ST-Ericsson, Samsung and IBM. It
is a joint effort to improve and unify low level Linux software on the
ARM platform. Linaro now employs more than 100 engineers in several
working groups: kernel, toolchains, platform, graphics, multimedia,
power management...

Linaro is the exact opposite of yet another industry body producing only
(secret) specifications. Its only focus is to develop advanced features
on recent ARM cores, and have these features integrated in the
mainstream projects (Linux kernel, compilers, QEMU...). It also works
completely in the open, and everyone is welcome to join its technical
projects and discussions.

This presentation will precisely highlight Linaro contributions which
have been merged in mainstream projects, or will soon be. You should
return home with multiple ideas and resources to improve your products
running ARM Linux, reduce your development time and costs. We just
advise not to tell your boss about all this, and with the extra free
time, join the Linaro developer community ;-)

Michael is Linaro's community manager. He will do his best to convince
you to join its user and developer community if you are not part of it
yet. Don't forget to send him a SIGSTOP signal if he speaks for too
long... Michael is also the founder of Bootlin, an embedded Linux
engineering company known worldwide for all the technical materials it
releases under a free documentation license.
