Lunchtime - full talks over for the minute. Lightning talks may happen soon-ish.
Isolated knots of people chatting: Video Sprint folk chatting about how much can be done in time for Debconf 2016 in South Africa in the break out room.
Three or four people on laptops immediately behind me. Activity never stops
Thanks go to ARM for the venue in a good auditorium space, and also to the other sponsors who have sponsored our lunches or other expenses - and the staff here on the weekend / out of hours which I would guess is unusual.

Mini Debconf ARM CAmbridge 7 November 1022
Now watching Neil Williams (codehelp) on testing, continuous integration, ARM diversity and the problems of a huge spectrum of small ARM devices.
Mass testing == better for everyone using ARM but it's hard.
Betty Dall presented on HP Enterprise's The Machine as the first session: very interesting and dependent on ARM SoCs and Debian Linux. Linux running everywhere, even on huge hardware still being built.

Mini Debconf 2015 ARM Cambridge - ARM, 7 November
Belated thanks to the ARM folk who arranged car park spaces for me for Thursday and Friday. I'm mobility impaired so this made a huge difference.
Today is the more open day - not so much programming, more presentations and talks. Also being live streamed. http://video.debconf.org:8000/minidebconf.ogv
Schedule is slightly changed but the wiki is correct
The auditorium is pretty full even at 0925
Thanks as ever to front desk and the ARM security staff who havewekcined ** welcomed us. Here's to a good day

MiniDebconf Cambridge ARM, Cambridge 1020 6 November
Back here. Now a silent room - seven people on laptops in the Video Sprint rooom. A couple of low-key mutterings as various "stuff" is attempted to be ported.
Last night most folk watched the fireworks - November 5th is the celebration in UK which involves fireworks. [Obligatory Wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night ]
Cambridge has a huge free public display and it was apparently well worth watching.
A side conversation on keyboards - Belgians, UK English, Germans - but most of us have US English layout in our touch typing fingers, I suspect. Changing keyboards is fun :)
I may have been talked into packaging something for Debian for the first time in a very long time :)

MiniDebconf2015, ARM Cambridge 1320 5 November
Back after lunch - chatting about video and stuff with the Video Team sprint.
Thanks to the ARM employees swiping us in and out and shepherding the bunch of us over to lunch and keeping track of us.
From behind me, there's the chat over sorting out a switch to handle the LAN setup to test the video equipment later on.
Next door, they're busy, busy, busy - four tables full of people working fairly quietly. Steve McIntyre (Sledge) is running around facilitating, answering questions, sorting out "stuff"
Front desk are still front desking although most of us have arrived: I'm guessing they'll be busiest over the weekend.
Three of us on laptops doing whatever in here: Helen busy working to make sense of scribbled notes on whiteboards into a proper diagramming package - green and red marker pen on two walls full of whiteboard becomes a sensible project - objectives, bullet points, tasking - seemingly far too much organisation for this sort of thing and not the way some of us naturally work but necessary if we're not to forget something tiny but vital.
Thanks for this expertise, Helen, that most of us don't have :)

Cambridge MiniDebConf2015 - ARM, Cambridge 1030 5 November
Now safely here - good to be home with the family. Some old faces who were here last year, some new.
Roomful of laptops: fairly quiet hum of people coding. I've stolen what could be the largest table - but I have integrated a Cubietruck so far this morning :)
Next door is the Video team sprint - working to try and get something sorted to replace dvswitch - the software behind all the Debconf videos.
ARM staff helpful as ever, good surroundings and, of course, good coffee :)
