Hi Marek,
Thanks for raising the topic across the communities. The question is probably how many people from the various projects are going to attend Plumbers this year in Lisbon, so to create some critical mass.
The TF.org project is planning a significant presence at the Open Source Firmware Conference happening the week before in California (https://osfc.io/), sponsoring the event and submitting few engineering topics. This is another great opportunity to meet and chat on Boot/Firmware topics as well.
Having a boot miniconf the week after in Europe may be a natural extension, but I'm wondering if people would be willing to travel and attend two similar events in a row...
Thanks, Matteo [Arm & TrustedFirmware.org]

Hi,
I was pondering whether it would make sense to organize a bootloader miniconf at Linux Plumbers [1]. The Linux kernel is what we often start, the bootloader projects generally do similar things, hence I think being able to meet face-to-face and discuss how to make things better/nicer would be beneficial.
Feel free to expand the CC list to other interested parties.
Thoughts ?

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 :)
