Back from Aalborg

Just returned from FOSS.Aalborg ’09 where I held a talk about OpenEmbedded. It’s been my second time in Aalborg (first time was Mobile Developer Days ’07) and it’s been a nice and informative experience. Met some folks doing amazing things with embedded.

I felt it’s time to recap the stuff that kept me busy the last months and give you an overview over the achievements planned for this year – always focusing the free software movement, of course. freesmartphone.org Let’s start with the major project I’ve been working on, the freesmartphone.org proje…

St.Augstin, Braunschweig, Berlin, Taipei

Although trying (really!) to cut down travelling, it’s still a lot. Here’s a sweeping swipe of what happened during the past couple of months and what’s going to happen soon. Froscon FrOSCon took place at its usual place on the last weekend in August and it was a very well organized conference – eve…
