Boot-Time BOF

In this BOF, attendees will discuss the current status of Linux Boot, and boot-time reduction efforts for Linux systems. This will be an open discussion about the currently available tools, instrumentation, techniques, patches, documentation and online resources for developers working on Linux boot-time reduction.

If you are working on Linux boot-time, or plan to sometime in the near future, please join this discussion. You can describe your requirements, or tell us about your current Linux boot-time reduction activities or projects.

What is this Fuego thing and where is it going?

Fuego is yet another automated test framework for Linux. But it is different from other systems in a few key ways. This session will introduce Fuego and describe a few of its features that are different (to Tim's knowledge) from other test systems like LAVA, Buildbot, or LTP.

Some of the features are Fuego's focus on individual board testing (rather than test labs), results analysis separated from the test itself, and on building a suite of tests readily available to begin testing.

Tim will also share some of his vision for the future of open source testing, and what features of Fuego are being prototyped now to move towards that vision. (That is, Tim will share his Fuego roadmap.)

25-minute session is OK.
