[OHSW.org] Long time no activity - what about a virtual meeting

[H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Quick summary:
- we had 7 people participating :)
- nice talks about: VALA, Embedded, remote testing of boards and devices incl. boot&power measurements, Linux kernel development, issues with power management, EPDC for i.MX5, and more
- everybody thought such an event needs to be repeated
- we agreed that it should not be in 3 years but 3 months
- so far there is no volunteer to set up a new xoyondo.com poll
BR,
Nikolaus
