 If you were in Austin, I apologize. You have to look at this again But if you were not in Austin, I again apologize And anyway, I'll do I'll do one profile. Okay, that's enough of that Okay, I think I can switch to this mic now Welcome to the embedded Linux conference closing game if you have never come to one of these Welcome This is what it's like Apologize in advance for any strangeness that happens. I gotta make sure I have my glasses here so I can See stuff So this is the special penguin edition Of the embedded Linux conference closing game So earlier this year my wife and I had a chance to go to Antarctica and I Was actually able to take a selfie with some penguins in Antarctica Super super cool. I just want everyone to know I take my role as brand ambassador very seriously Okay, so And I have I have pictures to prove it and I'm standing here like this So I want to thank everyone that made this event possible a big thank you to our sponsors We had some some great Great people who who fund the vent we couldn't be in this type of nice venue without Without these this sponsorship. I know it was expensive darn that Garth Brooks But But I'm glad you could all make it and then you made the effort to come out here I also want to thank our program committee and You can read the names here They do a great job of selecting the content And filtering through the proposals and I apologize if your proposal was not accepted We get so many great ones every year. We can't accept them all a big. Thank you to the speakers Really this event is about the speakers and the material that they deliver sharing their best practices and things that they've learned So a big thank you to them and then you as attendees obviously The event would not exist Unless we have people to come to it and also share your knowledge and then a big round of applause for the Linux Foundation event staff They they have had the the last two years you think you've had it hard. Oh my gosh it was just been Just a miracle that they are able to pull off all the stuff they did given the conditions And there's a lot of contract renegotiation. We finally made it back to Dublin This is our third time trying to get here in three years So big round of applause to them. They're really the best in the business Okay, just a little bit of housekeeping Before we go on so speakers if you have not done so already you're supposed to have done so but please submit your PDF version of your slides you can do that on the sketch.org site Or you can email them to the Linux Foundation Please don't make us try to contact you after the fact it gets hard to Contact people the sessions were recorded and they will be put on YouTube I think you can actually access for attendees that are registered. You can access the sessions immediately they're still on the Virtual platform and so you have access to those I think in about a month or so They'll be put on the embedded Linux wiki or the links to them and then you can go out and hopefully this material Can serve as a reference in some cases for many years to come So this is the presentations page, I just looked at it like an hour ago. It's not quite there I had to put a stub But we'll put the links there when they're available and you can if you go to elinux wiki It's pretty clear how to navigate and get to them Future events. Okay, so I said in my bath if you came to the ecosystem bath said that there might be some changes Okay, the short answer for next year is we have no idea what's going on. That's That's not that's not Exactly true. We had a meeting this morning with several people involved in various events met with Angela and So we're the longer answer is that we're probably And this is all probably nothing set in stone yet But we're probably switching to an annual event that will alternate between North America and Europe And we will not be co-located with open source some at Europe. It'll be kind of a standalone event So it'll be more focused on just embedded topics Hopefully that makes it easier When you are in the hallways, you can see people That are doing the same thing types of things you are So we have a working title don't quote me on any of this stuff because this is all preliminary The embedded open-source summit and then we're looking at other events that are of course related I didn't mention IOT, but Zephyr Yachto project ELC are three candidates for for that embedded open-source summit and We're shooting for April May of every year. I got some feedback that June July is not great But next year in 2023 the venues are all all booked up for April May So we'll have it in the summer. We'll try to avoid holiday season in Europe in subsequent years, but for next year will probably be Probably be in June or July. That's kind of what we're looking at again. None of this is set in stone But just for future planning So now what we what we come here for we came to play some games And we are going to play some games of skill so-called and luck and if you have not played this before you should have two cards on on your chair and We're the first part of this game is a trivia game. We're going to ask you to answer some questions and The way it works is we have everybody stand up at the Beginning and then when you if you answer correctly you'll you as we go through the questions You'll hold up either red or green or sometimes both cards If you answer correctly you get to stay standing if you if you don't answer correctly Please sit down. We do have some judges here to make sure people are honest But and then we have a bunch of and then after we go through a couple of rounds We've narrowed down to like four or five people. We will give you a piece of paper Okay, we used to have people come up, but it kind of takes too long. So we'll give you a piece of paper held up there and we will and Then at the end after we've done with all the games will come up and you can we'll show you the prizes or you get to Select the prize that corresponds to your number. Okay, so oh I already okay. This is a What's at stake? Okay, so we got a couple of things really really cool. We have some Beaglebone AI boards These are donated by Texas Instruments totally cool if you want to do an AI project Beaglebone AI we will cut right through the supply chain issues and send one to you so So that's awesome. If you want to play around with that. We have some Zephyr boards over on the table We have lots of gift cards. We have books. Oh, I want to hold up a book This is embedded mastering embedded Linux programming by Chris Simmons is Chris Simmons here Chris stand up Okay, one of our very own That's awesome. It's nice to me Well, I'll twist Chris's arm and get him to sign up for you So and then we have souvenirs of Ireland the event staff has gone out and gotten some stuff There's like You can hold up a couple of things. Anyway, there's some little packets of souvenirs You can take home and enjoy Okay So our our first game is embedded Linux history technical nerd and penguin trivia So we've added penguin to the list this year because as as Linux developers, of course, you should know your penguin stuff Okay, oh, yeah the important disclaimer Important disclaimer. This game is not fair. I don't want to hear any whining Oh, yeah, you're gonna You'll get eliminated. It's just too bad And sorry virtual attendees, I know that there are some virtual attendees, but we don't have any prizes for virtual attendees We found that the latency of the we used to try to do this server-based, but it was really really hard to play Made it difficult so you can play along at home And if you want to brag that you would have won a prize then feel free So With that I think Question what everybody up and You can be considering this The currently released version of the Linux kernel is 6.0 RC six or five Nineteen nine so hold up either a green card or a red card Okay, and the answer of course is five dot nineteen dot nine Because a release candidate is a candidate. It's not actually released And by the way, we're on we're on RC five this week not RC six So that's just wrong in two two ways. Okay, so sorry for those of you got eliminated quick Okay, which of these penguin species does not have a Linux distribution named after it does not Okay, everybody. Well, I won't I'm not going to give any hints, but like one of these is obvious Okay, which one does not have a Linux distribution Okay, oh It's a deli Green and red is a deli so gentoo macaroni or a deli and The answer is you'll have you happy with this. They are all Linux distributions No one got eliminated see now. I've made everyone happy time for the Time for the opposite Okay, what is the original meaning of Dublin an old Irish Gaelic, I don't know if I pronounced that right is it hurtled Ford or black pool Okay, and you should I should say one two three go because I know you guys look around to see who's answering So if you have if you if you had a friend from Dublin It's black pool Dublin means black pool So there is another name for the town and I won't try to pronounce it Okay, okay, okay, can we Okay, can you pronounce it for us? Balia are clear. Okay. What? What what he said and that means That means town of the hurtled Ford no idea what that means in English Okay question for the current owner of arm is Softbank or Nvidia Okay, oh Come on didn't I fool anyone with that question? Okay, it's soft bank the Nvidia deal Nvidia have made an acquisition bid, but it fell through earlier this year So I don't know what arm employees think of that whether they're happy or sad, but it's What well? Okay, okay, this one might be harder Scientists have very recently created a robotic implant for mouse embryos that allows their DNA to be changed Before birth or a rechargeable remote controllable cyborg cockroach Okay, I'm not doing very good here. It's the cockroach So if you are green sit down I the quote from the article is so precious These achievements will help make the use of cyborg insects a practical reality Oh Thank you. Thank you scientists for that We really are going to enjoy our cyborg. It's it's okay. It's got a solar panel on its back Okay, and it can recharge in the field apparently Okay, that's So that's Thanks a lot. Okay Lena's decided to change the major version number of the next Linux kernel to six Because preempt RT has finally been mainline. Oh my gosh. What a major feature or Lena's doesn't like to count very high. Oh my gosh. I'm gonna write out of questions Okay It's Lena's doesn't like to count very high it was in the keynote if you attended that Wow, okay Sorry, sorry for people got eliminated. This is the highest. We've ever got okay Which of these movies has the closest projected release date? Dune part to avatar to or edge of tomorrow to so there's it's gonna be sequel mania in the next little while So which one is it? Okay, this this might eliminate. Yeah, this is definitely gonna eliminate some people the answer is Avatar to way of the water So and I just I know it's on my little script thing there, but I just got to point out projected release I thought that was pretty good Okay Dublin's okay, how are we doing? Oh, we still got a lot of people to get rid of okay. No offense Dublin's O'Connell bridge is unique because it is the only bridge in Europe with the same width and length Or it has been identified as the earliest site of a bridge built by Vikings One of those is true Okay The answer is it's the only bridge. I think wait who's left? Who's left? Oh, you guys are winners. All right So how many is that five did we end up with five people there? So that was fun wasn't it? Okay, let's let's keep going everybody stand back up. This is a very athletic game Okay, Intel recently shipped its first risk five processor true or false First risk five pot processor from Intel, you know Intel normally makes Intel chips The game is not fair I just I just want to point out the game is not fair. It's false So They have produced a dev kit for risk five that includes an FPGA and actually I visited the booth this week and I Said is that an Altera FPGA and he said well, no, but it has Altera written on it Let's see question 10 a GL has switched from QT to Flutter as the main GUI platform Okay That true or false this is gonna this is gonna kill me because I'm all Walt Minor sent me in the answer to this. I asked him in private email and I'm not sure I interpreted his answer correctly But it's false Okay, you can do you can do some experimental apps right now, but it's not the main the main GUI platform Oh, how are we doing too many? Sorry, we got it. We got to go one more Okay, scientists have recently developed a computer that forms calculations when it is squeezed or exposed to the air Okay The answer is squeezed Okay, those come along right when I need them How are we doing? Oh, that's 11. I'm sorry. I gotta do one more. Okay, but this is an easy one Ireland's first computer the BTM 1201 was purchased and installed by green the Irish sugar company or red Trinity College and The answer is the Irish sugar company Sorry, I got to quote my pithy statement here, too. It was a sweet deal Five good. Okay, so that's you guys are winners Okay, so I'm somewhere in my bag is my key to when these questions run out Okay, we will do one more round of this so everybody up, okay that computer we were just talking about Was it purchased in 1957 or 1960? Yeah half are going Okay, it was purchased in 1957 here's the interesting thing though It took them three years to program it So and and interestingly The first scientific programming in Ireland was done by Christine Willys in 1958 turns out they gave it to the scientists first before they gave it to payroll So that was that's pretty cool. Okay. Okay. This is a tricky one Who wrote the book Mastering Embedded Linux programming Was it Lena's Torvald's Chris Simmons or I did Okay, Chris Chris you got to hold up both No, Chris, you're the only one in the audience that can answer this correctly Okay, we're gonna count it even though he's only holding up red, okay If you said Lena's Torvald sit down if you said Chris Simmons, you're right stay standing If you held up green and red like Chris did We have a special award from you come on up Chris and I apologize you're gonna have to stand there while we do this Okay, so we have a tradition Join me on stage We have a tradition of giving an award for outstanding contribution to the embedded Linux conference and Chris has been doing this for over 11 years. I Think your first one was Cambridge 2010 and we just because we're goofy. We don't do a 10-year one We do an 11-year one we we meant to give this to you last year But you know COVID and so it should have an asterisk on it because I think you're actually at 12 years a lovely trophy So oh so just a little bit a little bit about Chris. Oh, we've got a All right, so Chris has spoken at ELC Europe almost every single one. I think you only missed one year Well, according to well, we'll talk But he was our keynote speaker in 2013 in Scotland and he's an author trainer educator author of a book So one of the outstanding mentors of our community and a great contributor. So thank you very much. Okay Question 15 right back into it a research at meta has been experimenting with an AI that can Green determine words that a subject here is based on their brain waves or red Determine what a subject is thinking based on their eye movements Is it brain waves or eye movements? meta wants to Read your mind And the answer is green So they're actually You might think this is just a privacy invading thing But they're actually this is the first step in a process They hope to be able to extend it so that they can allow handicap people to communicate so At first good point Okay, Ireland is home to green the greenest location in the world or Red the most scenic airport in the world Which of those is true of Ireland? It is subjective highly subjective completely unfair. It's the most scenic airport in the world. I Can't believe how many people did we eliminate with that one two three? Okay? Okay prizes for them Okay. Yeah, go ahead and give prizes So we have two on this side and one here If you have okay, it do us a favor if you already have a piece of paper politely decline your second or third one So we can spread spread the joy around it turns out so Kalarney National Park is recognized as one of the top ten But it lost to Costa Rica as the greenest But but this Donegal Airport apparently is super super interesting and beautiful to fly into so You should go there Okay, here's I have one that's later on but there's there's a there's a danger I'll run out of questions, and I'll there'll be too many of you left. Should I just keep going? Okay, okay, everybody back up If you can't take advice how to run for the game from your attendees, who can you? Easily Intel recently acquired which embedded Linux consulting company Was it we take yo linear tronics or bootlin? Okay, I hope I hope Thomas has a poker face over there It's linear tronics So Hopefully that means that we'll see a lot of interesting Continuation of real-time mainlining and that kind of type of stuff Okay Now we get a little bit more esoteric embedded Linux conference Europe has not been held in which of the following countries Okay, not been held in Spain Norway or Austria okay, I See I'm gonna definitely run out of questions here So it's Norway if you were green. Sorry sit down and And in a in a weird twist of fate embedded Linux conference Europe has also been held in the state of Washington in the US So that that's due to COVID. That's one of those asterisk things Okay Who was offered a red pill or a blue pill as a choice between reality or illusion? Was it Thomas Anderson in the matrix or Dave aim David Ames in vanilla sky? Okay It was the matrix Morpheus offered him I do it That is not it's not fair I Okay, so I never said my PowerPoint. It's the actual answer is green not red. Sorry Okay, and and I misspelled Thomas Anderson, so I don't know Okay, how many species of penguin are there is it 19 or 41 I'll just I'll just give you a big hint if you ask Alexa. It tells you the wrong answer It's 19 Okay, so I think we're at 15. So we need to get okay. Sorry. We got to keep going Okay, the first exa-scale computer was added to the list of top 500 super computers in May was it Fugaku at the Reichen Center for Computational Science or was it frontier at Oak Ridge National Lab What was the first exa-scale computer added to the top 500 list? It was frontier So if you're red stay standing. Okay. How are we doing? No nine. Oh, sorry guys. I got to go one more Which species has more biomass by weight on the planet Earth? This is a this is a question of great interest of penguins Is it green cows or red krill? Which has more biomass? Oh Well, that's unfortunate because it's cows We went all the way to zero This has never happened before Okay, this one's just I think the next one which okay, this one where that game is over We're gonna move on but I got to do this question because it took me so much work to figure this out Okay, so Linux is installed on the ingenuity helicopter, which is deployed on Mars Okay Now I will give you some background information that I don't normally give Because it's running low on battery due to Mars solar winter. It has to shut off at night So is it currently right this minute running Embedded Linux you can answer you just stay seated but you can answer is it true or false? Is it running or not running? This was so hard to figure out guys It is true. It's running well. It should be so Like Mars day is 39 minutes longer or shorter or something like that Anyway, I had to do all this math to figure out like what time is it gonna be in Ireland? What time is it gonna be on Mars? But it should be by my calculations. It's about 6 30 p.m. On Mars 1830 on Mars right now What where where no where the perseverance where the helicopter is that was the other thing it can't be Mars UTC Which which by the way there is a Mars UTC? Anyway, okay That's good So let's move on to the second phase of our game Okay, we're gonna just skip past these like we don't know what they are Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you could oh, that's good point. I'll never be able to use this deck again. Dang Okay Time for game two. So that was the skill one. I The only the skilled people won that one. I'm sure So we're gonna play rock paper scissors So you don't need your cards anymore. This is with your hand Except for this is against the presenter So I have something recorded in my presentation and you're playing against me except we're actually playing playing rock paper scissors penguin krill Okay, so it's super easy Just just learn that figure that out So, you know, you have to be creative like how to how does krill beat scissors? It kind of jams them I don't know anyway So it's this is this is the text form of that diagram These are the hand signs. Okay important. Okay, so you got your traditional rock paper Scissors and then penguin is this and then krill is this Okay, there's lots of krill. They're little tiny ones in the ocean. Okay So everybody up Okay I'm gonna say ready set throw and that means to do your hand sign. So pick your hand sign. Don't make it ambiguous Okay, and then I yeah, and then we'll see if we can whittle it down. This game goes very fast So Okay presenter is oh Okay, there you go. There's my flub for the day Okay, I'm not gonna do that one. So could you all saw it? So we'll we'll go to the next one. Okay, so I'll say ready set go Okay Presenter is penguin You get to stay in the game if your scissors or rocks scissors and rocks very dangerous for pigeon Okay, okay ready set go Okay Presenter is krill if you're a penguin you like to eat krill and paper smothers smothers krill. It's very tragic. Okay Okay, those who are still standing ready set go Presenter was rock if you are paper or krill you get to stand. Oh wow. Wow. That was Guys are good guessers Is that we didn't eliminate very many usually it's three-fifths Okay, ready set go And it's penguin is stay in if you're rock or scissors. How we doing one two three four five six all right We have winners Okay, so I have to excuse me for one moment while I confer with my judges. Okay judges come here I'd like you guys to customize your answers so we get the right number of attendees at the end But I'm not going to tell you what that number is Okay, everybody back up Okay, ready set throw Okay presenter is scissors You can stay in the game if you're paid if you're krill or rock It's hard to cut krill with scissors Okay, ready set throw Okay Presenter is rock so if you're paper or krill you get to stay in the game Or how are we doing? Yep, too little too many. Okay ready set go Okay Presenter is paper. Okay. Wait. Oh, this might have worked I'm so sorry guys. We got to do one more Okay, and Okay, ready set go and And scissors so if you're rock or okay, we have winners Okay We have just enough for one more round. We'll do one more round then we'll then we'll wrap it up So everybody back up We'll do this fast Yeah, yeah Ready set go Okay presenter is rock stay in the game if you're paper or krill Okay, okay Let's see ready set throw presenter is penguin stay in the game if you're scissors or rock Ready set throw Okay, I know you guys are trying to read my Python script I Generate I have a random generator thing that runs the Yeah, oh What's the xkcd pick a random number for That's it's I picked it just now and it's random Okay, we got to go one more time Okay, ready set throw Okay It's penguin. Oh, wait. Okay. Wait. Is that does that work? How many how many we have left? Yeah, four two. Oh perfect. All right Okay I'm gonna do the same thing. Don't look at these. I Don't even remember how many rounds I did Okay, okay Time for some closing thoughts So I want to talk a little bit about my trip to Antarctica. I had a very interesting time there And and then just a little bit about my small contribution on that trip So I went on a cruise ship down there This had been a trip that my wife and I've been planning for a long time we went We actually got to get off the cruise ship and go on zodiacs and land on the continent take pictures of the penguins one of the activities was really interesting was called the science boat and In that activity They took a small number of passengers and when we went out into this bay and took measurements Basically to help understand what's going on with the ecology my particular job was Let me see if I have yeah, my particular job was I lowered this device over the side of the boat and I took temperature measurements and salinity measurements and then they correlated those to the temperature and so Okay admittedly, this is a very very small contribution to the overall You know science effort worldwide, but it was a contribution. I thought it was really interesting the thing I thought was interesting was They had structured it so that This contribution so there were some PhD students in Brazil and in Chile And I think the US that were that were using this data as part of their PhD thesis And they're you know writing in particular what they were trying to do one of the other things we did was measure Actually sampled the phytoplankton and the zooplankton in the in the bay and tried to correlate those to see what the Salinity and the temperature how that was affecting those populations and how that affected stuff up the food chain a small thing But I thought it was just ingenious that they found a way to have tourists I'm my wife and I actually helped contribute and we had a great time doing it and It was it was just it reminded me a lot of open source that We should seek out ways to allow everyone to make any kind of contribution no matter how small And there are opportunities all around us to do that. I would say so last year developer came up to me and Talked to me about his website called meaningful code org So this is a place where you can go and you can look up projects and they're categorized by what language they're in And what kind of sector they're in whether it's health or social services or all kinds of different things so I am going to give you homework and so Go out and find a project to contribute to it doesn't have to be through this I've got I talked in the ecosystem boff about elinix org it needs some help we we could It'd be good if we could get an effort together I just created this page seriously like two hours ago stuff to do on the elinix website So if you want to help out I'm planning on Having like a zoom call sometime in October to kind of revitalize the elinix website So there's some really good information out there videos presentations from all prior embedded linux conferences There's been some really neat work to categorize those so if you're interested in USB you can see USB presentations going back 10 years 20 years Well, not 20 getting ahead of myself but My advice is just go out and find something to do an open source. I know that we contribute to open source And and that makes the world a better place But there's so many opportunities that we really don't have any excuse Not to go out and and do some good in the world. So the future is bright I was talking to Jim Zimblin just this morning and you know, we used to tell people Well, you know that the linux motto used to be you know world domination. We don't anymore because We kind of already did it It's kind of rude but But there's there's there's a lot more work to be done and hopefully with your experiences here You've gained some Information learned about some tools or some activities or projects that will help you in whatever you're pursuing with embedded linux, so thank you for joining us and Hope that you learned something new. I hope to see you all again sometime in 2023. So thanks very much
