</div>
I apologize for the short notice and the lengthy email, but there are a lot of details to cover.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you get a chance, please take a moment to respond to the following short questions to either myself or to <a href="mailto:jeffrey.osier-mixon@intel.com">jeffrey.osier-mixon@intel.com</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>1. What is your background with BSPs and what do you want to get out of this summit?</div>
<div>2. What are the challenges you face developing and/or using BSPs?</div>
<div>3. What concerns do you have about creating and/or maintaining BSPs for Yocto?</div>

<div>A few notes about remote participation:</div>

<div> (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0898438); ">This is for cost control reasons, not to exclude anyone.)</span></div>
<div>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.</div>
