Hi guys,
FOSDEM is close, we want everybody to talk about openSUSE and as ARM is
super cool the idea how to do it is to do some periodical demos -
something like five or ten minutes (can be longer) at booth in
predefined time slots about what cool stuff can you do with ARM. We are
going to have there ARM based Chromebooks to demo stuff. What we are
missing is volunteers to do the demos, schedule and the demos :-D
Few ideas that comes to my mind:
* Web development on Chromebook
Ok, little lame, but we can show that if you replace ChromeOS with
openSUSE, you can do web development on it, like rails or even much
cooler tntnet[1]. I can test, prepare and do this one.
* KVM and Chromebook
If I'm not mistaken, Cromebooks do have Cortex A-15 and thus support for
virtualization, kernel 3.8 and KVM should have support for that as well,
so theoretically, we can boot some virtual machine on Chromebook, which
would be awasome even as an article/video to do some promo after the
FOSDEM. Only trouble is, that I'm not sure how much work it is and I
don't have a Chromebook. So this one would require somebody else to
prepare and test.
* WiFi sniffing/cracking
I have no experience with that so it would be again nice if somebody
else would step in and do some demo. We can connect to the public WiFi
that is going to be there and sniff around or setup some local AP and
crack it on the spot...
* Packaging
We can do pretty ordinary OBS packaging demo with one minor modification
- do everything on Chromebook and in the end submit package in OBS to
get packages even for other architectures. I can do that one as well.
These were just a few ideas and I can make happen only two of them, so I
would like to call for volunteers and for more ideas :-D We can off
course do same demo twice or trice for different audience, but if we
will get more cool stuff, it will be better. When we had these workshop
sessions on LinuxTag, I remember that people came. Although the most
packed were Hennes evening crafting sessions...
