The Linaro Connect week-long agenda also features sessions on Android, Graphics and Multimedia, Kernel Consolidation, Platform Development, Power Management, QA and Infrastructure, Tools, Validation and LAVA, and training.  Along with the regular track sessions, there will be an additional networking mini summit on Tuesday October 29th from 9.00am - 1.00pm.

Held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, LCU13 is the place to learn about the future of Linux on Arm.  Engineers returning to their companies after Linaro Connect take back the latest software developments around Arm and new ways of optimizing the latest Arm technology.  This Linaro Connect is co-located with Arm TechCon, which runs from Tuesday October 29th to Thursday October 31st. Separate registration is required to attend the sessions of both events, but co-location gives attendees of Linaro Connect a unique chance to see most of Arm’s hardware and software ecosystem in one place at the Expo.
