Devs
Florian Fainelli and Nicolas Thill from OpenWRT team will be present.
Nicolas Thill
Nicolas Thill bought his first router in 2004 and taken by the versatility of the OpenWRT mini-distribution, he cross-compiles & packages everything which he can think of, and joins the OpenWRT dev-team (who grew tired of integrating all his patches) end of 2004. Since then he's been maintaining the packages and contributed code to some target architectures (eg AR7, UML, x86). Recently he's been working on the toolchain and added the option to choose for libc implementation.
Florian Fainelli
Florian is in the OpenWRT dev team since nov 2005, back then mainly maintaining packages, afterwards got interested in kernel development and porting the kernel to different architectures.

Aftermath
Hello, The OpenWRT weekend is over and it was great! Facts: - We had 24 people - We covered the costs - It was great fun! What was good: - interesting stuff was happening everywhere - everybody was actively doing their stuff - food and drinks were nice (still volunteers wanted to do the dishes ;) - our uplink survived... Better for the next OpenWRT workshop: - there were almost no talks, only one at midnight about packaging (wich was intersting) -> one developer was sick and did not made it. - provide step-by-step documentation to install OpenWRT from zero to shell. Did you like it? Did you disliked it? What could have been better? Please provide feedback to contact at hackerspace.be Foremost we want to thank: - Nico and Massoud for coming over and helping setting up the network fridaynight! - Italy and Sweden for flying over! - Steven to provide the Fonera routers - Pascal for using the most soldering iron - the cooks for providing the flying spaghetti For people interested in more OpenWRT: There will be an OpenWRT hacknight the saturday night of Fosdem (7/02) Please register on doodle (HackerSpace Brussels can contain +- 25 people): http://www.doodle.com/4vzh6rrn92riqp85 See you next time! steef
