Keynote: Tux in Lights - Henry Kingman
Please join us in the Hahn Auditorium at 9:00am for this special presentation.  Henry Kingman, executive editor LinuxDevices.com, will describe the role of the media in embedded Linux's formation and future, talk about the overlap between writing code and hacking copy, and observe that at their best, both open source projects and publications create communities.  He will also give some observations about device software selection, integration, and development, and comment on the ongoing trends for Linux adoption in the embedded space.
 
 
Chinese Lunch
Please join us for a catered lunch from one of the best Chinese restaurants in town.  We will have Broccoli Beef, Honey Walnut Prawns, Sweet and Sour Pork, Vegetable Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Egg rolls, and more.  Lunch will be served in the Green Room.
 
 
Technical Showcase
At 5:30pm come to the demo display in the lobby area of the Hahn Auditorium.  CELF members will be displaying different uses and technological improvements of Linux for CE products.

Keynote:  The Relationship Between kernel.org Development and the Use of Linux for Embedded Applications - Andrew Morton
We are excited to announce that Andrew Morton will be our keynote speaker on Wednesday.  Andrew Morton is a legendary Linux kernel developer and its lead maintainer.  Andrew will summarize the kernel.org development and decision-making processes. Special focus will be placed upon how they impact the developers of Linux for embedded products, including the economics of using a modern kernel versus staying on a frozen older kernel version, and the economics of maintaining private patchsets versus merging work back into the public kernel.
 
 
Lunch
Please join us for deli sandwiches, salads, fruits, vegetables, and desserts.  Lunch will be served in the Green Room.
 
 
Dinner Reception
Please join us from 6:30-8:30pm for a special dinner reception in the Courtyard and Gallery of the Computer History Museum.  Get ready for an "all-you-can-eat" homestyle Texas Barbeque with BBQ Beef Brisket, BBQ Pork Spareribs, BBQ chicken, and Smoked Link Sausages with all the "fixin's" on the side.  Garden Burgers will be served as a meat substitute for vegetarians.  And, then peach cobbler with whip cream to top it off.  "Yee-haw!"
 
 
Laser Tag
After dinner from 8:30-11:00pm come have some fun playing Laser Tag at Laser Quest - located right across the street (Shorline Blvd).  Laser Quest combines the classic games of tag and hide & seek with a high-tech twist.  Donning the most sophisticated laser tag equipment available, the game is played in a large, multi-level arena featuring specialty lighting, swirling fog and heart-pounding music.  Questors use their lasers to score as many points as possible by tagging the sensors on their opponents’ equipment.  With fun lurking around every corner this is the ultimate in interactive entertainment!  Scorecards and code names add to the fun.
Mexican Lunch
Please join us for a catered Mexican lunch with Araujo's Tacos, cheese enchiladas, beans, rice and more.  Lunch will be served in the Green Room.
 
 
Keynote: Status of Embedded Linux and CELF Plenary - Tim Bird
At the conclusion of the conference, Tim will give an overview of the status of various Linux technologies relevant to embedded devices. This will highlight key kernel features, as well a middleware projects that many embedded developers are following and participating in. Tim will also describe CELF's technical working groups and projects, including some of it's achievements in the last year and it's plans for the upcoming year. All conference attendees are invited to attend this session. CELF members especially are invited to attend to learn about the state of CELF, and how it relates to the status of Linux technology in their area of interest.
 
 
Trivia Game
As part of our closing session please join us at 4:40pm in the Hahn Auditorium for a fun game that will test your Linux trivia knowledge!
