I'm a big fan of nifty devices like this and I'm interested to see what can be done with these devices. I hope to see you there, A.C. ****** President, North Bay Linux User's Group On 09/30/2016 01:16 PM, Allan Cecil wrote: > Topic: Oct. 11: The Epiphany Chip and the Parallella Computer > When: Tuesday October 11th, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM > Speaker: William Tracy > > Location: O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol CA in the Tarsier conference room > past the metal statue and to the right ( http://nblug.org/locations ) > > Description: > The Epiphany is a processor that tries to combine the best attributes of a CPU and a GPU. The Parallella is a single-board computer that runs Ubuntu, originally designed as a showcase for the Epiphany chip. I backed the original Kickstarter campaign for the Parallella in 2012. I will talk about my experience with the fundraising campaign, how the Epiphany and the Parallella are different from their predecessors, and the strengths and weaknesses of the Epiphany in practice. > From allan at nblug.org Thu Nov 3 16:53:37 2016 From: allan at nblug.org (Allan Cecil) Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 16:53:37 -0700 Subject: [NBLUG/Announce] Nov. 8th meeting: Lightning Talks, Elections, and Hackfest Message-ID: <42f01fa2-c871-5e49-6036-9e8a2a09a9ba@nblug.org> Topic: Lightning Talks, Elections, and Hackfest When: Tuesday November 8th, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM Speaker: Everyone Location: O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol CA in the Tarsier conference room past the metal statue and to the right ( http://nblug.org/locations ) Description: Lightning Talks: Have something you would like to present, but don't have enough material for a full talk? Here's your chance. Talk about anything Linux related. Elections: After the last lightning talk concludes we will hold our annual elections. Hackfest: Bring your hardware or software project to get help with it or just to show it off.

It's more difficult when you have a team spread around the world and even more interesting if you're working on a shared physical device. In this talk, I'll discuss a remote engineering environment I created that allows contributors to connect to a standard Linux user account with a shared terminal (tmux), shared desktop (x2go with desktop sharing enabled), power and data control for a device under test (serial over USB), and even streaming video for viewing camera feeds (RTMP streaming from OBS Studio and viewed in VLC). This wide-ranging talk is appropriate for all levels of experience and will primarily be a series of live, remote demos.

By the end of the demo we'll be watching live camera feeds and streaming high quality video and audio all without leaving Linux, so if that sounds interesting be sure to tune in!

Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
