Embedded Linux-Featuring Mr. Niibe

Habitual early morning rituals, the first thing I would do is check my email. Almost every morning there would be at least 10 announcements about what going on for training, staff and etc in the mailbox. Usually, the normal algo. would be ...

foreach mail in list{
subject = grep("subject");
if(!relevent(subject))
delete;
else
view;
}

Usually, the algo. works well and the only mails that would be left behind are emails from friends.
But somehow it is different this time. The subject Embedded Systems came out and I just had to
find out what it is all about. I viewed the mail and read through a brochure that was attached.

The first thing that came up to my mind is, oh no...another Embedded workshop. Usually I won't be
that excited, but looking at the Trainer's background, i saw a familiar name.....
Wait a minute, that's Mr. Niibe, the Debian kernel Hacker and founder of debian group and FLOSS in Japan.
An old friend indeed.....I wasted no time and registered for the workshop.....
Would be nice to see that old Jap again....

If you are interested, you can check out the following details....

  1. Hi Joey,

    Yes, I will be KL again.
    ... with GNU/Linux boxes made in Japan.

    It's named KUROBOX/Pro, with ARM processor. I think that it's best toy to learn Linux and GNU environment for embedded.

  3. Hi Mr. Niibe,

    Nice to hear that you are coming to KL again....should make it a yearly visit....:) ....I love toys.....Linux Toys....I'm looking forward to hack linux toys....


    Marjan,

    The link looks fine....The pricing for the workshop on the other hand is a little bit not that fine:( Personally, I wouldn't have the funds to spend on this workshop, but the people I work for does....
    It cost about RM 1890, thank god is fully funded, you can obviously call them and find out about the means of payment... If you think its too expensive or you are as broke as I am, then you can ask your boss to pay for it too.:)
