> Speaker: Marc Curry
> CompuTECA

> ==============================
>
> Presentation Abstract:
>
> Embedded Linux is hotter than ever with the advent of
> smaller, more powerful personal computing systems. Embedded
> Linux is at the forefront of many corporate strategies in
> the development of their PDAs, web tablets, web phones,
> set-top boxes and devices, audio players, personal servers,
> wrist watches, and even in-dash car computers, to name a
> few.
>
> This talk addresses the fundamentals of Embedded Linux,
> provides some real-world example systems, details resources
> and considerations for making your own embedded system, and
> completes with a guided tour of actually making a useful
> example that is roughly three orders of magnitude smaller
> than a full install of its original release.
>
