Directions

• • Directions: From Shiodome station (next to Park Hotel)
    • Take the Toei Oedo line to Roppongi Hills

• • • Please be noted that the direction guide from the subway
      station is assuming you

use the “Tokyo Metro, Roppongi Station” not the “Toei (Municipal) Oedo
Line, Roppongi Station”. The attached wide area map indicates the
location of Oedo Line Roppongi Station, which is about 300m (980ft) from
the Tokyo Metro Roppongi station.

Hotel Information

We are recommending the same hotel for the Embedded Linux Summit as for
LinuxCon Japan. This is the Park Hotel
Tokyo which is located in
southeast Tokyo, in the Shimbashi district of the city.

If you are attending LinuxCon, you can use the Linux Foundation Room
rate, of 15,000 yen (about \$175) per night. See instructions on the
LinuxCon Japan Hotel
page for
making a reservation.

meeting:

 1. mainline gap
   1.1 version gap is most prevalent form
   1.2 how to reduce it?
     1.2.1 can stable release maintenance help with this?
     1.2.2 patch mining - pros and cons
     1.2.3 proxy contributors - pros and cons
     1.2.4 development methods: git vs. git+quilt vs. big honking vendor tarballs!
 2. architecture-specific issues (ARM, MIPS, x86)
   2.1 SOC vendor tree isolation
   2.2 defconfigs
   2.3 recent industry initiatives (e.g. Linaro)
 3. SMP in embedded

Mini summit followup meeting in the UK

Russell King won’t be coming to the meeting in Tokyo. Since a number of
us will be in England at ELC Europe in late October, we’ve decided to
have a brief meeting there as well, to include Russell and continue
discussing some of the ideas raised in Tokyo.
