[NBLUG/Announce] Oct. 11: The Epiphany Chip and the Parallella Computer

[Allan Cecil]

This is just a reminder that William Tracy's Epiphany chip / Parallella computer talk is tonight at 7:30 PM and he will be bringing extra devices in case you want to buy one.  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,

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.
