Hello, This year we will be hosting OSHCamp in the historic town of Lincoln, over the weekend of Sat 30th June & Sun 1st July. Details of the call for talks and workshops can be found below. // -- Open Source Hardware Camp 2018 -- This year Open Source Hardware Camp will take place over the weekend of Saturday 30th June & Sunday 1st July, at the Blue Room, Lincoln, LN1 3BU. We’re excited to be hosting OSHCamp for the first time ever in the historic county town of Lincoln — home to, amongst others, noted engine builders Ruston & Hornsby (now Siemens, via GEC and English Electric). Lincoln is well served by rail, reachable from Leeds and London within 2-2.5 hours, and 4-5 hours from Edinburgh and Southampton. Proposals for talks and workshops for OSHCamp 2018 are invited! There is no theme and topics may include, for example: * Open source hardware projects * Open development practices and principles * Novel/interesting/fun projects built using open source hardware * Tools (hardware and software) * Skills and techniques, e.g. PCB fab, DIY SMT assembly * Relevant technologies, e.g. SPI/I2C bus programming * ...something else relevant to the community If you would like to give a talk on the Saturday and/or run a workshop on the Sunday, please submit details via the form at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1pLyItcKRDYmegNXtAXRgpt21yOFXdWlBO_K6uu0LlB… Any questions can either be directed to the list or sent to andrew(a)abopen.com. **** Note that the deadline for submitting titles and abstracts is Monday 25th March at 17:00. If you would like to discuss ideas etc. please get in touch sooner, rather than later. **** A social is planned for the Saturday evening and details of accommodation nearby to the venue will be provided in due course. // -- Andrew Back http://abopen.com

OSHUG 64 — Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick Workshop, Thursday 22nd February.
by Andrew Back 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Hello, Registration is now open for the first workshop of 2018, which will provide hands-on experience with using the Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick and open source frameworks to deploy deep neural networks. Details of which and a link to registration can be found below. Regards, Andrew // OSHUG #64 — Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick Workshop. On the 22 February 2018, 09:00 - 17:00 at BCS London, 1st Floor, The Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London, WC2E 7HA. http://oshug.org/event/64 Learn how to use the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick and open source frameworks to deploy deep neural networks at the edge. — Workshop details Market research estimates there will be as many as 20 billion connected devices in the market by 2020. These devices are expected to generate billions of petabytes of data traffic between cloud and edge devices. In 2017 alone, 8.4B connected devices are expected in the market which is sparking a strong need to pre-process data at the edge. This has led many IoT device manufacturers, especially those working on vision based devices like smart cameras, drones, robots, AR/VR, etc., to bring intelligence to the edge. Through the recent addition of the Movidius™ VPU technology to its existing AI edge solutions portfolio, Intel is well positioned to provide solutions that help developers and data scientists pioneer the low-power intelligent edge devices segment. This workshop will provide hands-on experience with Intel’s Neural Compute Stick – a low-cost, form-factor developer kit for low-power vision based embedded inference applications. What You Will Learn: * Insights into how Movidius™ VPUs are pioneering DNN accelerated vision processing. * Introduction to hardware and software components of NCS. * Workflow of network profiling and application development using NCS. * Detection/Classification models * Advanced functionalities * Hands-on with advanced demos and sample codes built using NC SDK’s API framework, which includes support for Caffe and TensorFlow — Participant requirements ** Participants are required to bring a laptop computer with Ubuntu 16.04 and Neural Compute SDK installed ** https://github.com/movidius/ncsdk — What is provided * NCS hardware will be provided for use during the workshop * A light lunch will be provided and please ensure that any dietary requirements are made clear during registration — Hosted by The workshop will be hosted by Intel engineers. This workshop is free to attend and hosted by Intel in partnership with the BCS Open Source Specialist Group and the Open Source Hardware User Group. * Sponsored by DesignSpark — https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/home Note: Please aim to arrive by 08:45 as the workshop will start at 09:00 prompt. // -- Andrew Back http://abopen.com
