Here we discuss and present things like hacking your phone, PDA or router and everything about cross-compiling. The people that gather here are usually doing tons of cool stuff with small low-powered devices, from playing music to controlling big and complex systems. | Here we discuss and present things like hacking your phone, PDA or router and everything about cross-compiling.

- | : | + | : We at FOSDEM want to push the envelope of our mission even further by organizing something along the lines of a "distribution summit" during FOSDEM 2010. |
: The idea is that rather than having several distributions with their own respective and individual Developer Room, we will host mixed conference rooms where talks and sessions will be organized by topic, with contributors from all distributions attending and participating. Any linux distribution can participate. | : The idea is that rather than having several distributions with their own respective and individual Developer Room, we will host mixed conference rooms where talks and sessions will be organized by topic, with contributors from all distributions attending and participating.
