We will be holding a Balloon developers meeting for those actively involved to discuss where we are at, what to do next and who is going to do it. The emphasis wil be on technical issues such as bootloaders, kernel versions, code management, hardware variants, as well as general strategy in terms of acheiving what people want to achieve.
This will be at 11:00 am Friday 9th June at Toby CHurchill Ltd offices in Over, nr Cambridge,UK. Anyone who is working on Balloon is welcome, and anyone considering joining the team would also be very welcome.
