Hi, I would be happy to talk about eLua (I run the London Lua user group and have a couple of microcontroller boards that run it now). I don't know if there is anyone around who might want to talk about mruby. Justin

Free Energy Efficiency Workshop: Bristol 16 January 2014
by Jeremy Bennett 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi all, The Technology Strategy Board is running a workshop on energy efficiency tools in Bristol on 16 January, this is a free event aimed at anyone interested in the field: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/energy-efficient-software-tools-workshop-tick… We'll be there with the new MAGEEC energy measurement boards (all free hardware design of course). Designed by Simon Hollis of Bristol University, these can sample energy usage up to 6 million times per second. It's a chance to bring along your own hardware and instrument it, or bring along your own software and try it on some standard boards. We'll have some ST Discovery (ARM) boards and Arduino/Shrimp boards to use if you'd rather not risk your own hardware. If you can't make it on the 16th, then there is a second chance to find out more about open source and energy efficiency, because we'll be re-running the workshop at FOSDEM as part of the energy efficiency dev room: https://fosdem.org/2014/ Hope to see you at one of these. 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

[job advert warning!] Boldport
by Saar Drimer 08 Dec '13

08 Dec '13

Hello everyone. I hope no one would be offended by this advert, but I wanted to get the word out there, and there is a strong connection to open source hardware ;) As some of you know, I run Boldport, where I create "beautifully functional circuits" and maintain the Python open source PCB design software, PCBmodE. (You may have seen some of my work at Wuthering Bytes and my OSHUG presentations.) I'm looking for someone to join me. The technical background isn't as critical as our ability to work together and that the person joining understands and is passionate about the vision for what we aim to achieve together. If there's a right match, there is an opportunity to join at a co-founder level. I have a somewhat generic job advert on Boldport's site: http://www.boldport.com/work.html Other information about the company, the work, the vision, and PCBmodE is here: http://boldport.com http://boldport.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/user/boldport http://bitbucket.org/boldport/pcbmode Thanks for your attention, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who is interested. Please forward this on to others if it's relevant to them. All the best, saar.

So there these two projects (not sure if the authors are on the list): http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micro-python-python-for-micro… http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gfw/espruino-javascript-for-things We could probably find more speakers, but would be quite fun to see these two fellas! Surprisingly, Gordon (who I have met) as well as Damien, are both based in Cambridge, so it's probably not gonna be too hard to invite them around. Cheers, -- Ilya
