I am not planning to be at ELC-E but I can help remotely if it is
needed. However, there is another option. There is pretty good chance
that I will get a MC slot at LPC. I am looking for people who want to
talk. The overall plan is to devote this MC for boot stuff with focus
on security. So, this maybe good place to discuss this. However, I am
not ARM expert, so, I would like to see Leif and/or Alex or somebody
else familiar with ARM stuff there too.
