Booth location
Hall 7.2a 106
Who will be there
- Peter Stuge
- Ron Minnich (on Thursday)
- Paul Menzel
What needs to be brought
- flat screen monitor
- Paul will bring a 17" flat screen.
- flyers, information material
- 4-in-1 Monitor switch
- ethernet switch
- power strip (1 for the booth)
- keyboard
- tools (screw driver, etc.)
- ethernet card which flashrom supports?
Ideas for presentation
Goals
- Make coreboot known to more people.
- Show flashrom and how it now also supports ethernet cards and SATA cards and runs also on BSD and Solaris.
- Get more developers.
- Get in touch with hardware manufactures.
Ideas
- To catch the attention of the visitors, we should have a catchy slogan being displayed on the flat screen.
- „BIOS and EFI are last century. Join the millenium with coreboot.“
How to answer best the following questions?
- Is my board supported?
- We can say that additionally to AMD and VIA now even a rather recent board with an Intel chipset (Kontron_986LCD-M_mITX) is supported.
- But the main problem will be that AMD still has not yet released the code for their 780(?) chipsets. So only the VIA VX800 is a recent chipset(?).
- What benefit does it have?
- How do I profit from it?
- Is not hibernate/suspend the future?
