I will be looking at packaging aprx for Debian and should hopefully have a package ready by the end of the night. I'm still willing to do a live packaging demo, but this is not the package for that, so if someone has a small piece of software they'd like to see in Debian, let me know and this can be arranged. I may also look at the mess that is the current space sensors system. It's pretty dreadful and could be better. I have some code already for this, but I feel I have to throw it out and start again because people have started looking at my hackerspace code and people really shouldn't look at this code.

[57north-discuss] Tech Events
Hiya There were some techy events coming up in Aberdeen, so just a random heads up... 1. Explorathon - Fri 26 September 2. Inaugural Cloud Computing User Group Event - 29th September at Satrosphere 3. Aberdeen Creative Meetup - 2 October 4. Alan Turing and the Artificial Brain RGU - Tuesday 7 October 2014 at 6pm 5. Northern Lights Conference - Friday 17th October 6. CodeTheCity 2 - Sports, Fitness and Wellbeing - 18th/19th October ...just to mention, I thought the first 4 were not so well publicised. The last 2 are probably well known, but just to mention for completeness. Thanks to Gordon Or of ScotlandIS - http://www.scotlandis.com/ for mentioning #2 and #4. #3 is just round the corner from the space and is kind of for creative folk, but that includes hackers in my mind :) There is, of course, Joomla Day UK next weekend, which will be awesome, as usual, but it not so local, being in west London. the blurb is at http://joomladay.co.uk/ if anyone is interested. Afraid I can't make it down tonight, but will head in next Tuesday to get my membership signed up. Randomly more info below... Cheers Andy *Explorathon Satrosphere - Fri 26 September* http://www.explorathon.co.uk/aberdeen *Inaugural Cloud Computing User Group Event - 29th September at Satrosphere* Next Monday, there is a joint Cloud Computing User Group being launched by the British Computing Society (BCS) and ScotlandIS. Please see details below - well worth attending if you have an interest in Cloud Computing. There will be a presentation from Amazon Web Services too. Scottish Cloud Computing Network - Inaugural event 29th September A Cloud Computing User Group 12:00-12:30 Lunch 12:30-1:30 Ian Massingham, AWS Technical Evangelist 1:30 -2:00 Establishment of the User Group / Future Plans Satrosphere, Aberdeen. Light lunch provided. http://www.satrosphere.net/Satrosphere Science Centre, The Tramsheds, 179 Constitution Street, Aberdeen, AB24 5TU This event has been set up at the request of a number of users / potential users of cloud services. The purpose of this User Group is to provide a non-vendor user group for organisations either currently or intending to utilise cloud-based services. So if that applies to you and you are interested in forming an Aberdeen based group to discuss common issues or get input from different vendors you are invited to attend this event. To assist with catering registration is essential so please RSVP to s.a.mack...@rgu.ac.uk The group is being formed as an initiative between ScotlandIS, the local British Computer Society (BCS) branch, and the Universities of Robert Gordon and St Andrews. ScotlandIS is the national trade body representing the IT industry. BCS - Chartered Institute for IT are the professional body for this sector across the UK. Robert Gordon University and St Andrews University has undertaken a project over the last 3 years assisting software organisations move their high-value software products to a cloud-based offering ( http://www.servicestothecloud.com/.) This project is coming to an end. One element of this project is the formation of a long-term interest group. This meeting will discuss the formation of a group and the appetite for maintaining such a group. If you wish to be added to the Scottish Cloud Computing Network mailing list please e-mail the project manager Gordon Baxter (gordon.bax...@st-andrews.ac.uk) A number of the project partners were interested in finding out further details about the AWS Cloud Offering so we have invited Ian Massingham, AWS Technical Evangelist to present and take questions from users on this subject. *Alan Turing and the Artificial Brain RGU - Tuesday 7 October 2014 at 6pm* RGU are hosting a guest lecture on the concept of Artificial Intelligence delivered by computer science expert Dr Ian Watson of the University of Auckland, New Zealand, which is taking place at Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen on Tuesday 7 October 2014 at 6pm. Entitled ‘Alan Turing and the Artificial Brain’, Dr Watson will draw on the work of Alan Turing during this free lecture, exploring both sides of the philosophical debate claiming that Artificial Intelligence is or is not achievable. Please register online for Alan Turing and the Artificial Brain http://www.rgu.ac.uk/events/guest-lecture-alan-turing-and-the-artificial-brain . *CodeTheCity 2 - Sports, Fitness and Wellbeing - 18th/19th October* http://codethecity.org/ ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss
