Welcome back to EdLUG for 2022! Craig Burden has kindly stepped up to tell us about embedded Linux, so we're going to be getting a glimpse into the world of PCBs and integrated circuits that lies on the other side of the Linux kernel.
As per usual, we'll meet and chat from 7pm, and start the talk around 7.15.
-----
A crash course in embedded linux hardware
A shallow dive into the world of embedded linux and what makes up a typical embedded system.
We'll be covering the minimum requirements, typical applications and design considerations as well as touching on what linux looks like in these systems and how to compile and configure the kernel.
In the process we will demystify common design outcomes and most importantly explain why the circuit boards look like they were routed by world champion snake player.

The theme for our December meetup is "On day $N of Christmas, FOSS gave to me..."
To make this work, your LUG needs you! The more speakers we can find, the more fun this will be. :-D It would be amazing if we could do 12 talks. It will be a *maximum* of 5 minutes per talk, so it's not a big commitment.
The idea is simple: tell us about some cool open source thing! It could be a game, a useful tool, or an algorithm (with an open source implementation). It could be something so widespread we hardly notice it, like DNS, or a personal story like how you rescued a broken laptop using Linux. It could be open hardware, or even an open source cola. The only requirement is for something open source which you're glad exists!
Please get in touch with Thomas (takluyver@fastmail.com) or post in the comments if you'd like to give a talk. If you're not sure what topic to talk about, I'm happy to help you figure that out.
This meet-up will be Lean Agile Edinburgh’s last meet-up of the year and for a change we are going to make this one a real life, in person event!
We’ve booked a good sized function room in the Outhouse in Broughton street, which is very central and is a 10 min walk from Waverley station. We’ll be limiting RSVPs around 60% off the room’s capacity to ensure that there is plenty space for everyone. Please can you ensure that you keep your RSVP up to date, as we have a limited number of spaces
The evening will be fairly informal and a chance for everyone to discuss any Lean/Agile topics or questions that are on your mind and/or share knowledge with fellow Lean Agile Edinburgh members. We’d love to see you there and you are very welcome regardless of your experience with Agile - from complete newbie to seasoned Agilist :-)
The Agenda for the evening will be roughly as follows:
6.45-7.00 - Arrival
7.00-7.15 - Introduction, welcome and shout outs
7.15-7.45 - Lean Coffee in small groups (*)
7.45-8.00 - BREAK
8.00-8.30 - Lightning talks and/or a Liberating Structure (**)
8.30 - Depart, or stay for a drink and a chat
(*) If you’ve not heard of Lean Coffee before it involves writing down your discussion topics / questions on postits, voting for the ones that interest you the most, then discussing the topics in a small group based on the votes for 5 minute intervals. It’s a great way to learn new things and meet people!
(**) We hope to have a couple of lightning talks - if you have something to share and would like to do a 5-10 min lightning talk, please get in touch with us. If we don’t have any talks organised we’ll do a liberating structure instead. You can read more about these at LiberatingStructures.com
This is our first in person event since the pandemic started and because it is mostly interactive it won't be live streamed. Next year we expect to be slowly returning to in person events, which will be live streamed where possible.
VERY IMPORTANT: Only RSVP if you are going to attend this in person event. If you plans change, please update your RSVP to "No" immediately. Please avoid a "no show" or a last minute "no". This will help the organisers and other members immensely - Thank you!
Lean Coffee, Lightning Talks and Liberating Structures (in person)
