I had my "Binary Blobs Attack!!!" BoF session accepted at ELC this year:

Most SoC vendors distribute binary blobs with Linux kernel shims. These binary blobs enable graphics engines, DSPs and other cores on ARM and other architecture SoCs. These binary blobs tend to be tied to specific kernel versions which limits unreadability and hackability and complicates device manufactures, which slows down innovation and the introduction of new and unique computing devices. This BoF is aimed at trying to improve this situation with pragmatic steps. Anyone interested in discussing their experience with binary blob integration, ideas for making this easier to deal with across architectures, ways to encourage openness while allowing vendor differentiation and others interested in a constructive dialog should attend.

I was wanted to get some feedback from people about their own binary blob experiences. I think this will be a good place to have a good productive conversation about this critical issue.

This is ELC so We'll want to cover issues that affect all Linux distros.
