Embedded Linux Conference Annual Closing Game
summary
A lively closing game blends rapid trivia and mass rock paper scissors with everyone eligible to win; attendees use red/green cards and judges hand out tickets while rounds narrow the room. Prizes include beagle 5 board and TI swag, books and gift cards. Questions cite concrete facts: about 6.8 kernel as released, ~2,000 developers per kernel cycle, ~12% first‑time contributors, two Linux instances on Mars and over 400,000 processors running Linux in low Earth orbit. The RPS rounds use a randomized Python generator.
