Greetings List Lurkers,
Welcome to your official notice of the Barre Open Systems Institute (BOSI)
Adult Swim. The swim stars at 5:00 PM), when we shall continue the business
and pleasure of dealing with the all manner of technology, with an
emphasis on open source stuff. Some believe, the BOSI Adult Swim is an
excellent opportunity to do good things with open source technology,
others believe it is a great place to get an afternoon snack.
Several projects remain on the front burner. We are attempting to develop
Barre Open Porch, based upon a fork of the Open Porch product in GIT, as
well as the always popular pellet furnace, and temperature monitoring
projects... You think we would forget about these in the summer...
our Ongoing projects that tend to gather here include:
http://docbox.flint.com:8081/bop
http://docbox.flint.com:8081/tsp
http://docbox.flint.com:8081/furmon
Note that there has been a breakthrough. Chris Yarger, rather than use
the main Intel computer (and the complicated owfs) has used the Arduino as
a pre-processor. Tonight we are gonna clean up
http://docbox.flint.com:8081/tsp to highlight this development, and
with any kin of luck, this will be the main theme at Adult swim this
evening.
Again, if anyone in Burlington wants to see a presentation on this let us
know.
Finally I want to discuss the possibility of a "snowba" or a rumba with a
snowblower....
Otherwise Barre indeed remains a great venue for a Linux and Open Source
Software meeting. We have made some small progress on our internal
infrastructure, remember it is an analog world.
That said, continue to find our grubby mitts on the Dallas Semi "1-wire"
temperature probes, and the Arduino is clearly the coolest.
Note that the Barre library stocks "Linux World", the DVD are available as
well.
Anyway, come and do open source stuff. For more information about the BOSI
Adult Swim meeting time and location try this:

Show up at the the Hedding United Methodist Church Basement if you have
questions or are interested in Linux or the concept of free and open systems,
The basement of the Hedding UMC facility is actually working out pretty well.
If you wish to be included on the "Linux_adult_swim" mailing list, send a
response to this note. Note that the mailing list system is a bit peevish
right now. Let me know if you have any difficulties.
Kindest Regards,
