 I'm happy to announce that Mind will sponsor the Friday night dinner.

 We would still like a sponsor for the location, and it would also be nice if we
could get T-shirts for the participants. So if you think your employer would be
willing, please get in touch!

 I'm interested!

 I think there are in fact three completely different testing enhancements we
should consider:

1. Run-time testing, e.g. of the autobuilder artefacts.

2. Feature testing of Buildroot features, like BR2_EXTERNAL, umask handling,
graph-depends, etc.

3. Extending the existing autobuilders with kernel and bootloader builds.

 I guess you would concentrate on 1. I would love to work on 2, but I'm not so
efficient so perhaps my time is better spent on reviewing + looking over your
shoulder.


 Regards,
 Arnout
