[OE-core] Inaugural Yocto BSP Summit - Hosted by Mentor

[Hudson, Sean]

I am pleased to announce that Mentor Graphics is hosting the Inaugural Yocto BSP Summit on April 2nd, 2012 at the Mentor Graphics office in Fremont, CA.

I apologize for the short notice and the lengthy email, but there are a lot of details to cover.

In order to allow for remote participation from the community at the BSP Summit, Mentor Graphics will be providing a WebEx session, a live video stream, and recording the stream for later viewing.  Details can be found below.

If you get a chance, please take a moment to respond to the following short questions to either myself or to jeffrey.osier-mixon at intel.com<mailto:jeffrey.osier-mixon at intel.com>.

1.     What is your background with BSPs and what do you want to get out of this summit?
2.     What are the challenges you face developing and/or using BSPs?
3.     What concerns do you have about creating and/or maintaining BSPs for Yocto?

When:  Mon Apr 2 8am – 5pm US - Pacific Time

A few notes about remote participation:
1) Registration will be required for the webex session.
    (This is for cost control reasons, not to exclude anyone.)
2) As the majority of the summit will be presentations and to minimize disruption, all remote participants on the conference will be placed on mute.  However, we will monitor the #yocto and #oe channels on freenode and relay comments/questions into the sessions.

  08:00 - 09:00 -- Social/continental breakfast (not recorded)
