MHVLUG is proud to announce our November 2010 meeting: .... Open Source Hardware: Bugs, Beagles and Beyond
The Open Source Hardware movement is picking up speed, trying to duplicate the benefits realized with Open Source Software. But, atoms are harder than bits. Bringing an idea from paper to the physical world introduces some challenges that aren't as easy to solve in the physical world. The development of hardware and the surrounding community will be explored using Bug Labs [1]' work on bringing their BugBase 2.0 to market and its relationship to the BeagleBoard [2] and its larger development community. .... Lightning Talks * MHVLUGÂ Officer Nominations - Sean * Add some more Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks (up to 3), each 10 minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have posted their talk subject to the website in advance have priority. Time permitting, we'll also take impromptu lightning talks from the floor. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30 to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. The meeting will take place at Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium on Wednesday, November 3rd at 6 pm. All meetings are *free* and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! After each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner [3] on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed. For more details, including maps and directions, please see http://mhvlug.org [4].
