FOSDEM 2014 Energy-efficient Computing devroom
by Jeremy Bennett 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi all, The MAGEEC project (www.mageec.org) is hosting a developer room at FOSDEM next February. We'll be exploring all aspects of energy-efficient computing using open source hardware and software. FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting, is held annually over a weekend at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. It is free to attend and attracts over 5,000 participants. The energy-efficient computing devroom will run on Sunday 2nd February. We have a call for participation out now. You are invited to submit your proposals for taking part in the devroom. You can read more about all the devrooms on the FOSDEM website: https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-10-02-accepted-devrooms/ which links to more details for the energy-efficient computing devroom here: http://mageec.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2014_Energy-efficient_Computing_devroom The deadline for proposals is 25 November. Don't hesitate to contact me or Andrew Back (copied), or to post to the MAGEEC mailing list (http://mageec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mageec) if you have any questions or would like to know more. Best wishes, Jeremy -- Tel: +44 (1590) 610184 Cell: +44 (7970) 676050 SkypeID: jeremybennett Twitter: @jeremypbennett Email: jeremy.bennett(a)embecosm.com Web: www.embecosm.com

Xmos Startkit
by Alan Wood 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Those who know me or have or have attended some of my earlier (pre TVRRUG) OSHUG talks will be aware that I frequently work with Xmos multicore micro-controllers among my many other favourite technologies. Xmos are a UK chip design company (like ARM) who are doing a lot of work to push the technology envelope and they extensively use Opensource tool chains along with their community opensource libraries at xcore ( https://github.com/xcore). They have recently made efforts to widen their product lines and lower the barrier to entry, if you are interested in exploring XS1 technology and perhaps adding to their opensource developer pool you might be interested in a special promotion they are running called Startkit where they are giving away some great simple development boards for folks that may have a good idea to try out on them. Anyhow I don't want this to appear to much like an advert but I really respect what these folks are doing and hope that this doesn't put anyone off by posting it here on OSHUG You can find the offer here: https://github.com/xcore regards Al

Open Source Hardware Summit
by Andrew Katz 16 Oct '13

16 Oct '13

You're probably all aware of this, but if not: next year's Open Source Hardware Summit is likely to be in Europe, venue TBC. If you can come up with a compelling reason why Hebden Bridge is the ideal venue (and who can't?) then now is the time to get stuck into the discussion over on lists.oshwa.org. Best Andrew

Soldering station
by Jeremy Bennett 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi all, I want to set up a decent soldering station. Any suggestions on what I should look for in a soldering iron (and solder for that matter). Any other suggestions on kit that is particularly useful.

Hello, After a total of ~16 hours H.264 rendering, followed by about the same amount of time uploading, the video from the October OSHUG meeting is now online: http://designspark.com/eng/blog/adrian-bowyer-reprap-and-tvrrug-at-oshug-29… (I definitely need a faster computer and net connection!)

OSHUG #30 call for talks!
by Andrew Back 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hello, We're in the process of planning the last OSHUG meeting of 2013, which is set to take place on Thursday 28th November at the offices of Erlang Solutions (thanks, Omer!) The theme that is developing is around re-purposing/over-clocking/reverse-engineering of hardware. As ever, there should ideally be an open source hardware aspect, e.g. over-clocking of OSHW, or perhaps an open source OSHW design for use with a over-clocked, modified or a reverse-engineered product. Although, talks on the wider principles, techniques and approaches etc. are welcome also. I'd like to try and get details together within the next week if possible. Cheers, Andrew
