= Embedded Linux Session 1 =

== Agenda items: ==
 1. What's embedded Linux?
 2. What do we want to do with embedded Linux?
 3. What do we need?

== Present: ==
 * Mohamed Nour El-Din
 * Islam Hassan

 * Samar Ali
 * Osama Mongy

== Points covered: ==
 * The main steps of developing embedded Linux:

   i. Compiling the file system
   i. Adding utilities to the file system
   i. Installing the boot loader onto the board
   i. Deploying the system on the board
== Conclusion: ==
 * We'll make our own embedded Linux edition using tools to automate the process like '''openEmbedded'''.
 * We'll will use a ready made cross compiler like '''crosstool-ng'''.
 * We agreed to study the '''introduction to Linux command line tutorial''' from [[http://free-electrons.com/docs/|free-electrons.com]] before the next meeting and download the '''embedded Linux tutorial''' that would be used for the rest of the workshop [[http://www.mediafire.com/?g5n2wlf2czv1p4a|Download both from here]].
 * The next meeting will be either in '''Offok center in Muhandessin''', or, if they didn't agree, '''a center near Rab'a Al-Adaweya Mosque'''. The meeting time is next '''Friday (15/ Jul) at 2 P.M.''' as indicated in the team's [[https://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=ubuntu-eg@lists.ubuntu.com|Google calender]] and [[http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/egyptlocoteam/1065/detail/|loco event]].
