The conf being in the US is a barrier for some, for various reasons.

Another upside of LPC miniconf is that you have the kernel people there,
who are taking over once the bootloader starts them, so it would give us
an unique opportunity to synchronize with their needs.

I had some exchange(s) on IRC and Alex Graf mentioned that rather then a
pure bootloader miniconf, we should also pull in OpTee and other such
"resident service provider" projects, since the kernel also communicates
with those and they're installed before the kernel takes over.

I cannot answer that, maybe the result of this email can :)
