+==== Google Tech Talk Video ====
-==== LinuxWorld Expo 2006, San Francisco ====
+Marty Connor, Michael Brown, and H. Peter Anvin gave a Google Tech talk recently at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.  We highlighted the new features of gPXE, PXELINUX, and how we have advanced the state of the art in network booting.
-We attended our 11th [[http://linuxworldexpo.com/|LinuxWorld Expo]] in August, and things went very well!
+**Video of the talk is available [[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1911723796712805715|here]].**
-We had a webcam [[http://etherboot.org/lwe-webcam|webcam]] in our booth during show hours, and views of San Francsisco at other times.
+ --- //[[mdc@etherboot.org|Marty Connor]] 2008/09/26//
-At this show we demonstrated a pre-release of gPXE, the next generation (and a rewrite) of Etherboot to enhance PXE compatibility, and add new capabilities.
+----
-Some of the demos we we did included:
+[[:old_news|Older news items]]
-  * Booting Linux over AOE  ([[http://www.coraid.com/]]) using gPXE
-  * Booting Windows Server 2003 over iSCSI using gPXE
-  * Booting Linux using [[http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php|PXELINUX]] and gPXE
-  * gPXE's HTTP support for loading files
-Traffic at the booth was brisk, and we met a lot of new people who are interested in our technology.
-**Update**
-Please note that some of the code for iSCSI booting of Windows has been temporarily taken out of the gPXE codebase at the request of Microsoft Corporation. One necessary part for iSCSI boot in Windows is the iBFT data structure which Microsoft claims is proprietary at this time.
-**Update 13 March 2007**
-Microsoft has released an iBFT specifications document which requires agreeing to a Microsoft License Agreement to download.  We have asked the [[http://softwarefreedom.org|Software Freedom Law Center]] to examine the required license and give us an opinion on whether we can safely release open source code based on the specification.
-**Update 9 August 2007**
-IBM has released the iBFT specification document under GPL-friendly terms.  The iBFT code, based on the IBM document, is now back in the codebase.  [[:sanboot|Enjoy!]]
