nice, but the patriot of mine (perhaps) doesn't use CRUX PPC then... not enough to be our hero :)

I actually didn't see an Efika during the presentation. He did hold up some really neat little board though that I forgot the name of (made in Poland?).

It was overall a good session though, too bad an hour is not enough to cover much material.

Not only did we send an EFIKA (free + FedEx), we paid 150 Euros to get it through customs in Greece. Here is the initial Project:

http://projects.powerdeveloper.org/project/efika/137

In the meanwhile, Stelios has a company (www.digital-opsis.com) that builds embedded ip pbx's (among other things) and he used the EFIKA to build and demo it.

Here is the email we had:

Greetings !

FYI my presentation on OE was accepted by Power.org

Greetings to all !

Sorry for not posting earlier but my traveling schedule was such that did not allow for any...

The power.org presentation for OpenEmbedded included instructions on how to build OE for efika and other efika related info (configs etc)

Unfortunately i had 40 minutes to do the presentation which meant that there was no time to go over details :(
A problem with my laptop/projector was the final blow as i was not able to get a demo build going.

Efika was there on my table...waiting :(

I assume Power.org would post the entire presentation but till then i am attaching a couple of screen shots.

Other than that i think that most of the presentations were very good, with excellent info, but the 40-50 minutes made it difficult for most presenters to go into detail.
Hopefully next power.org dev conference will address that.

People will fall asleep if seminars are longer than that.

A trend I've seen here in Sweden the last year, are
25 minute seminars. Last year all were 45-50 mins..
