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 is 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....
