I suggest to read the news including some pictures and links with your browser at http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/News but otherwise here is a short text only summary...
* Qi Hardware was assigned IEEE OUI 10-E2-D5 for use in Ethernet MAC addresses and elsewhere. * Qi Hardware USB IDs added to linux-usb.org * Elphel and Qi Hardware got a page on Wikipedia. * Xiangfu got xburst-tools (USB booting and flashing XBurst devices) and fped (parametric footprint editor for KiCad) into Debian/unstable. --- NanoNote pocket computer * Werner Almesberger started to work on a 802.15.4 microSD RF board around Atmel AT86RF230, for use with the Ben and other devices. The goal is to make it work out of the box as a 6LoWPAN device. PCB antenna is being developed 'in-house' at Werner's apartment. Stay tuned. * Kristian Paul convinced the Universidad del Valle located in Buga, Colombia to support the development of his free GPS stack with access to a 150 MHz scope. --- Milkymist One interactive VJ station * roh made a wooden case for Milkymist One at the Raumfahrtagentur Hackerspace in Berlin. The process was QCad to DXF to RABBIT 40B laser cutter. --- Xué digital camera * The Xué project has chosen the MT9M033C12STC Aptina CMOS censor, and Sharism made a firm order of 30 pieces of that sensor. Now we only need to review everything properly, and spend more time on the KiCad process: KiCad to PCB, KiCad to components shopping list (boom), KiCad to SMT. * Andrés Calderón has issued a call for reviewers. That's it, many small bits and pieces falling into place, what a wonderful community to be part of.
