Nix News: Embedded Linux Update

Today I’ll cover my major take-homes from a couple embedded Linux conferences that I (virtually) attended.

Subjects:

• Let’s be positive
• All about embedded linux
• Be prepared: Containers are coming! (Someone please make docker-lite for embedded!)
• Risc V is up and coming real soon now
• Learn VSCode if you want a common IDE experience
• Diversity thoughts - there’s a person behind the email
• Open Source maintainers ask for our patience
• Check out Virtual Conferences in 2020
