So long, Twitter, and congratulations for your majestic $44 billion funeral. What's happening, as you liked to ask? It's now happening, at least for me, on Mastodon and LinkedIn: fosstodon.org/web/@MichaelOp… linkedin.com/in/michaelopden…

Be surprised how simple it is to generate an image for BeagleBone using the @yoctoproject: bootlin.com/blog/yocto-proje…

The video of the @Elektor Engineering Insights Panel I participated to yesterday, with @stuartcording and Ricardo Mendoza from #pantacor is now available on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=c9KwwUzv… It turns out you can use container technology without the heavyweight solutions!

I was in Austria last week, and apparently it rained quite a lot the days before. It's mushroom season!

Last week, I was teaching our new embedded Linux course at a customer in Austria, and everything was perfect: passionate engineers, great organization and an amazing venue. In particular, the coffee was excellent and brewed by a Linux distribution generated by the @yoctoproject.
