Our new season starts with four talks on Thursday 20 October.
We'll be hearing from the three winners of the BCS OSSG student competion. - Dan Gorringe on the AAP FPGA implementation and his new supercomputer - Chelsea Back on her open source Light Theremin - Luke A Roberts on visualizing algorithms
Dan has promised to bring his supercomputer with him!
The evening will round off with a talk by Ken Boak & Alan Wood on the MyStorm project, an ultra low cost (£20) FPGA board. We'll be running a full day workshop to allow you to get your hands on the first of these boards on 1 December. This project is particularly dear to our hearts, because it arose from discussion in the pub following our May meeting. Hear how they went from pub discussion to production in 100 days.
The meeting will be preceded by our AGM, to select the new BCS OSSG committee. More volunteers are welcome and you don't have to be a BCS member!

I look forward to seeing you there.

Just a minor correction myStorm boards are targeted at $30 US not sure exactly what that translates to in UK pounds exactly but significantly more than £20. Using google with todays exchange rate and adding VAT it would be nearerer £29.
