 I expect more people with Laptops than last year (at least I know
 one person who has got one ;-) ...).  So lets organize topics top
 *work* on in the evening ours.  May be we could stay in the rooms
 longer than it was possible last year.

Kind regards

Hi Thierry,

For the broader LSM, I can do an embedded systems course, using the
text of my series Building Tiny Linux Systems which is running in
Embedded Linux Journal. The text of the series is being released
under the GFDL.

For the Debian part of the meeting, I could say something about use of
Debian inside of HP, especially how it was used for the PA-RISC and ia64
ports.

Thanks

Bruce

Speaking of IA-64: Do we have a machine yet? AFAIK not. Do you think HP
would be willing to make one availible to Debian?

Btw, you tried to reply directly to -devel-announce. See your message
header:
 X-Debian-Message: Cannot post to debian-devel-announce, bounced to 
 debian-devel

Several Debian folk have acces of one kind or another to IA-64 hardware.  I
am not aware of any IA-64 systems fully dedicated to Debian development.

I am in possession of an IA-64 box from HP on loan to Agilent for evaluation.
Not surprisingly, what I want to evaluate is Debian on IA-64, so we've been
working to build packages, and have a few dozen done, working in a chroot on
top of a TurboLinux installation.

This particular machine has not been very stable, but we just went through a 
processor upgrade to a fresher stepping, and are about to freshen the BIOS.
I am hopeful that this will improve things.

This, of course, is no substitute for someone like Intel or HP explicitly 
making a machine available for dedicated Debian use.  Hopefully Bruce can 
join our other friends in HP to help make this happen soon...
