Linke every year we had a really good time at LinuxTag! It is always a great event talking to interested users, business people and other developers. For the projects sharing this booth such as MyStep, Jalimo, GPE and OpenEmbedded it was a great success. For me it was the first time representing OpenEmbedded at a fair like this – with good results: We had quite some people who knew OE and asked specific questions and many developers with interest in using it.
LinuxTag always gives a lot of inspiration for new things to do and projects to check out. I know about some interesting software we need in OE soon – things like the Sugar framework for the OLPC and x2go. Other important tasks are to publish a list of evices that are defined in OE metadata and pushing the mobile-linux project forward.
In the Maemo track I had a short talk about GPE applications for Maemo – the slides of my talk can be found here. Unluckily I was not able to attend more of the interesting talks in this track. But I found out that the Mamona people seem to like OpenEmbedded at least :-)
The Tarent and Mobile booth right after opening in the morning… it was way more crowded a short time later.
Many thanks to all the people organizing LinuxTag and Tarent for booth and the big red sofa for sitting down to write my blog.

In a few hours LinuxTag 2008 will open its gates. There is a large booth for mobile and embedded Open Source projects in hall 7b – I’ll be there for OpenEmbedded. GPE is there and right next to us there is the booth of the OpenMoko folks.

It seems to be a kind of tradition now to announce the next generation of hackers here. :-) I finally managed to write a few lines about my little daughter Jana Marie born about three weeks ago. Isn’t she a cute little baby?
I guess that explains why I have been a little bit quiet lately. :-)
The next challenge will be LinuxTag – There is still a lot of work to do preparing the OpenEmbedded booth and some words about GPE applications for Maemo.
