[oe] [Fwd: [Openembedded-private] URGENT: FOSDEM devroom and stand requests]

Thu Nov 20 02:48:31 UTC 2008

Robert, 

  That's great news!  Thanks for mentioning us again and in addition to
the BUG talk I plan on having an initial '1.0' version of BitBake
Commander in time for fosdem (see
http://community.buglabs.net/kgilmer/posts/6-OpenEmbedded-Tools-for-Eclipse-4-).  Assuming that happens, it might be a good opportunity to discuss the current state of eclipse in general and bbc in particular to OE and other embedded people.  

cheers
ken
