Always available to help !	5	3	Not really easy/useful to implement something you was just spoken about.	Same thing	3	3	Same thing	From less than 100 km / 60 miles

Due to the fact that some question where not answered on the moment(during lecture), and correction sheet was needed to debug groups. But he managed to give us afterward answer to our question he couldn't answer on the moment.			3	I think it was good, the instructor added personal experience, personal facts, and historical events that made the kernel development like that, also he really encouraged us to propose our patches.	3	* Beagle board is a great example for installing Linux. * The nunchuk add interest and fun to the lab => To bad to not have a little App so as to use the input file at the end of the lab(would add a bit of fun for people that finish the lab early) * Slides of the lecture and from the labs have hidden characters that made it not copy paste'able in code... You should add a summary of command line/ code snippets in a plain text file, that would save use a lot of useless recopying time. * Room size was okay, and environment too.	4	Good Ubuntu facilitate installation of tools, but unity is really painful and should be avoided for futur trainning	3	Schedule was good, perhaps we could have stay a bit longer the afternoon, but I guess for the other points I didn't managed it myself.	5	I learned a lot and I loved it.	4	As I'm design engineer the last part of the training ('scheduling') was quite interesting and can be useful for kernel deep comprehension and mechanism that are involved above the processor.			6	Great support, great labs, great instructor, great subject, great example	2	No need, only training and practice on my own is now required to enhance.	4	Definitively, Labs were the most interesting parts,		Not really one in particular, but some lectures were difficult to follows, a second windows with code example should be used to practically explain lecture.	Availability for on-site sessions, Open training materials that can be checked in advance, Access to full feedback from participants to previous sessions	Course recommended by previous participants	Boot time reduction, Power management, Investigating and fixing bugs		Yes for basics questions but I think he didn't mastered it,	3	5	Labs where very good, but when didn't have enough times to do it, and go deep in the comprehension of it.	Labs where just the right difficulty, increasing until the end of the training. A little problem for slow groups was the fact that labs have dependency on previous labs, and if those are not fully completed and understood that next lab is a bit foggy. But it's when it's hard that we learn things (the last one was quite complete)	3	2	Would have preferred more times on lab than on lectures	From less than 100 km / 60 miles

.	10/29/2013 13:50:14		3		I was expecting more kernel code deep dive and less driver specific stuff. The training was intersteing but in my day to day life it won't help me a lot	4						3	The instructor was ok about drivers and general kernel question but as the training was for ARM guys I was expecting more knowledge of the matches between kernel tasks and ARM architecture (instructions generated for example).			4		4		5		5		4	A lot but on a very restricted domain (kernel drivers) I would have expect more general lecture around what kernel does exactly.	2				5		5	Boot sequence description, link with ARM ASM code, indications of what to optimize in hardware to help the OS	2	Memory management		how to submit patches to Linus Torvald	Not applicable - My management made the decision	Course recommended by previous participants	Not interested			5	5	very useful on the specific topic of kernel drivers but not really useful for my day to day work	Some parts were just copying text from labs instructions to our editor, some others were a bit too difficult (special tip around making private data visible for example)	3	3		From less than 100 km / 60 miles
.	11/4/2013 9:54:23		3	Very condensed training, which is was I appreciated. I did not have the feeling to loose my time.	My objective was mostly to learn about Linux internals, not really the drivers. I think it was fully met, as showing the drivers helps to go deeply inside the kernel core while still being able to do labs, and so have a dynamic training.	5	And open source (Freely available from the web)					5				5		5		5		5	The original training was on 5 days. Because we have enough initial knowledge (using linux, CPU hardware...), shortening it on 4 days was the best to do. We already sent feedback to the trainer that it would be even more useful for us to add some modules about more linux internal parts: memory management, scheduling, etc.	4	I learned quite a lot especially about Linux sources: where to find the code, how to look for a specific function, how it is organized.	4	It was known that it would not be immediately useful. Anyway, I will certainly use it to compile a new kernel when required, or to look at specific functions.			7		1	It's enough for the moment.	5			Some modules in the last day were not very useful: Linux on ARM, debugging Linux and could be replaced by internals of Linux. Anyway the instructor went very quickly on these modules.	Open training materials that can be checked in advance, Access to full feedback from participants to previous sessions, Not applicable - My management made the decision	Course recommended by previous participants	Not interested			5	5	They permit making a very dynamic training. We would sleep very quickly without the labs.	Interesting, short, and permit to put the lectures into practice.	3	3		From less than 100 km / 60 miles

Labs a bit less directed but with more time to do them. This would be better to fully understand what we are doing. Currently we are able to complete most of the trainings without having fully understood what's going on.		3	4		From less than 100 km / 60 miles

.	11/5/2013 11:29:31		3		My objective was to learn more about the HW implications induced by an Operating System (in this case Linux), while he course was more focused on developping drivers alongside the Linux kernel. So there is no direct implication of the course to my day to day job. Now, I really _liked_ attending this course, I did learn a lot.	5						4	Extremelly knowledgeable on driver development. Maybe lacked a bit of knowledged on the kernel itself, but since it was not the gal of the course...			4	Very good, even if the course was in english.	4		5		5		5		2				6		4	A session on the kernel itself, on the run time environment, on the memory management, scheduler, etc...	3				Not applicable - My management made the decision	Free etc...	Power management			5	4	With the same caveat: useful for learning on driver dev, not on the kernel or on OS in general.		3	4	Maybe a bit too much time compared to going into more details on "why" things were implemented that way.
