Greetings Dr. Jeremy,

These are all cool projects.

I have already completely destroyed the quad copter I purchased, and I know that brother Scott is actively involved with this technology.

The rest of the stuff looks cool, in a kinda military way.

Why don't you send a expeditionary force into Barre some Monday?

BTW my best to Johnny Lee Stones!

Regards,

Paul

Hi all-

If there are any folks that have clearly-defined research or development projects that 
they think would be appropriate for undergrad CS students to tackle as a summer project, 
I have a number of students who might bite depending on the project. Note that there has 
to be some novelty involved, so straightforward "mechanical" development 
projects are not really appropriate. Here are some of the students with whom I've worked 
on previous summer research fellowships:

Greetings List Lurkers,

What a day here in Barre!  Beautiful, almost a shame to go in to the Adult 
Swim, but hey it needs to be done.

We are likely to pack the completed Raspberry-Pi based logon minder for use in 
the local churches and institutions. The final straw was to hook a ticket 
printer up to the raspberry pi.  This is really cool to see cups running on the 
itty-bitty pi. Looks like we got the workstation configuration, final testing 
and documentation.

Anywaty, this is the official notice of the Barre Open Systems Institute
(BOSI) Adult Swim. For those coming in via the Google Plus and the Internet, 
The swim stars at 5:00 PM EST, our continuing vanity being to include a goggle 
hangout https://www.google.com/calendar/render?pli=1 until 6:00 PM EST.

Projects abound....We have pretty much completed the the Cafe Pilot Project. I 
actually think this shall be a good thing.  Last week we learned more than we 
ever wanted to know about the Cafe Pilot client.

My struggle has been duplicating all the Linux Format DVDs that come every 
month to the Aldridge Library.  If you are interested in this project, take a 
look at the visual bash code located here:
http://docbox.flint.com:8081/visual.bash/#ocdg.sh


Effin has fallen in love with his car, and is trying to get the worlds cheapest 
odb2 to bluetooth working (see site here:
http://docbox.flint.com:8081/odb2).

Even the wife is involved.  She got a fitbit for her birthday.
Interesting...(see site here: http://docbox.flint.com:8081/fitbit).

More will come to these sites in the following weeks.

Our ongoing major objective is to continue to try to figure out how to invest 
the time and resources to turn the Barre Open Systems Institute into more than 
just the Adult Swim technical clinic and more into a real learning facility.
One direction we have beein working on is to begin thinking about classes. The 
curriculum that I am most interested in is teaching documentation.

I have added some thoughts about how to build the BOSI curriculum to this
webpage: http://bosivt.org/classes Take a look if you dare...  I think the AA meeting 
should be subtitled "Intro to Cyanogenmod"

As I cannot say too damn often, The meeting today is at 40 Washington Street, 
Barre, VT 05641 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM!

Remember, the BOSI Adult Swim is essentially about helping out fellow users of 
open source products in a clinic environment.  Despite my very best of 
intentions, the Adult Swim is really almost a perpetual Linux install-fest, and 
only secondarily a learning environment,

Once again, the goal of the meeting shall be as usual, to get organized and try 
to get the various projects moving forward.

The ever growing list of projects (now on our web site :^) includes:
- http://bzinga.net - What happens when you combine Bash and Zenity?
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/nodejs - ok, it is on the list.
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/snobot - jesum they love this robot
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/furmon - monitor that pellet furnace
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/arduino - moving in the arduino groove
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/javajive - to get better at Javascript
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/tsp  - Temperature Sensors Project
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/robotsrules - The quest for Roberts Rules -
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/visual.bash - Yea, I am not kidding...
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/mrtg - remedial raw mrtg for the slow...
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/raspberry - all rPi'ness
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/strembot.org - maybe a very cool project.
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/organized - oh please let me be organized!
- http://docbox.flint.com:8081/music - this may be the least organized
 site ever!

Otherwise, Barre indeed remains a great venue for a Linux and Open Source 
Software discussion and general system rejuvenation. Expect to be remotely 
preached at on the various topics of Open Source and how I am confident it 
shall cure all the evils and ills of this wicked world.  In a perfect meeting, 
people would come in, sit down, see the stuff we have been doing and hopefully 
help us get the DIY stuff we are doing done, or maybe just fix a laptop.

So, do not forget that the Barre library stocks "Linux World", and the latest 
issue is on the shelf, and it is good.  The DVD's are available to checkout and copy, we 
shall to continue provide copies and isos of each and every one. I am continuing to 
duplicate abot a years worth of DVD's which is quite a task.
Anyway, come and do open source stuff. For more information about the BOSI 
Adult Swim meeting time and location try this:

Show up at Hedding UMC if you have questions or are interested in Linux or the 
concept of free and open systems.  Again, we are in the basement of the Hedding 
UMC facility which is actually working out pretty well.
