Tim Bird recently sent out the Call for Presentations for Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) 2010. This event, planned for April 12-14 in San Francisco, California, is CELF's premier gather of embedded Linux developers and experts. If you've been working on something interesting, and you want to share it with other developers (and get feedback and help going forward), please consider making a presentation at this event.
Details about how to submit a proposal are at: http://elinux.org/ELC_2010_Call_for_Presentations

==> CELF ANNOUNCES PLAN FOR "OPEN PROJECT PROPOSALS" <==
Each year, the CE Linux Forum spends money on contract work to improve Linux for use in embedded systems. Some of the projects we have sponsored in the past include Linux-tiny, DirectFB enhancements, smem, and Squashfs mainlining.
Usually, our process involves querying forum members for their ideas and priorities and building a project list from that. This year, we are opening up the process and asking for ideas and proposals from the general public.
The CELF Open Project Proposal program is a process whereby anyone can submit to the CE Linux Forum ideas and proposals for projects that they think should be worked on to enhance embedded Linux. A formal announcement of this program will be made shortly. However, details about the program are available now at: http://elinux.org/CELF_Open_Project_Proposal_2010
Please consider making a proposal for CELF to consider funding next year!
==> 31ST JAPAN TECHNICAL JAMBOREE / ANNOUNCEMENT <==
The next Japan Technical Jamboree will be held on December 18th (Friday) at Nakano Sunplaza. The call for session proposals is out right now. We are preparing a Skype connection at the venue.

==> NEW RELEASE OF SMEM TOOL AVAILABLE! <==
Matt Mackall recently announced the availability of a new release (version 0.9) of the 'smem' memory analysis tool. This is a very useful tool for analyzing the utilization of memory on a system. The new release includes a lightweight snapshotting tool for using smem with embedded systems. Matt continues his work on smem with sponsorship of the CE Linux forum.
