I'd like to share with the u-boot mailing list the proposal of my talk
for u-boot's Mini summit in the ELCE2014.

__Mainline u-boot for Tizen 3.0 - “war story”__

Abstract:

Utilization of u-boot bootloader at Samsung's Linux powered platforms
has a long history.  For Tizen 3.0 the reference devices for mobile
profile (RD_PQ and Odroid U3/X2) are due to run with u-boot developed
with open source philosophy applied. It means that the code was
developed, reviewed and tested first in the open source and then
reused in Tizen.

Introduced changes to mainline code were minimal and only necessary for
assuring backward compatibility. In his presentation Lukasz will
briefly cover history and future plans of u-boot development for Tizen
(as e.g. ongoing work on single binary for Odroid U3 and M0), explain
key aspects of persuading community to accept solutions tunned for
mobile devices, present remarkable u-boot's “war stories” and give a
handful of tips for successful cooperation with community.

I would need around 25 minutes for talk and 5 more for discussion.

Any comments appreciated :-).
