Summary and Success: Linaro’s First Virtual Connect
Engineers at Linaro held their first ever Virtual Linaro Connect event last week (13 – 17 August 2012) and by all accounts it was a success. Many thanks to the planners, the presenters, and the participants for making this Virtual Connect event successful!
The event was held using Google + Hangouts on Air allowing for multiple presenters, live streaming and each of the 15 sessions was recorded for future viewing. You can find the session on the Linaro On Air YouTube Channel and Google + Page.
In case you missed the Virtual Connect, or your wondering what the fuss is about, or maybe you’re trying to decide if you should attend the next Linaro Connect event in person then check out these sessions for a taste of what the future of Linux on Arm is all about.

Speaking of the future and Linaro Connect Events, the next Linaro Connect (LCE 12 Copenhagen) will be held from 29 October to 2 November 2012 at the Bella Center located in Copenhagen, Denmark. More information about LCE 12 can be found on the Linaro Connect site. Updates will be added throughout the coming weeks so stay tuned! (If those dates and venue sound familiar to some that’s because Linaro Connect and UDS are co-located this time around. Hope to see you there:-D )
