General meeting: Tuesday, Jan 14th, 2014 7:30 PM Lightning Talks According to Wikipedia: A Lightning talk is a short presentation given at a conference or similar forum.

General Meeting 2013-12-10: Pi to Game Console Tool-Assisted Speedruns

by Allan Cecil

Start: 2013-12-10 7:30 pm End: 2013-06-11 ~9:00 pm Speaker: Allan Cecil Location: O'Reilly Media Description: A Raspberry Pi, connected to a custom PCB with a PIC microcontroller, connected to... a game console's controller port? In this presentation, Allan will talk about the Tool-Assisted Speedrun community from http://tasvideos.org, game console emulators in Linux, Raspberry Pi GPIO serial interface capabilities, PCB design, reverse-engineering, and how a TAS can be an artform. There will be plenty of technical details but the presentation should be enjoyable by all, with demonstrations of games being played perfectly using tools to overcome the limitations of human reflexes and a finale of taking complete control of an unmodified Super Nintendo using only the controller input.

NBLUG Elections and General Meeting 2013/11/12 Practical 3D printing and the Open Source Community

by jezra

Start: 2013-11-12 - 7:30pm End: 2013-11-12 - 9:00pm Location: O'Reilly Media The meeting will begin with the yearly election of members of the NBLUG Board of Directors. Following the election, Kyle Rankin will be presenting "Practical 3D printing and the Open Source Community" Your average geek has probably heard of 3D printers but may not know about all of the Open Source underpinnings that have made the 3D printing boom possible. In this talk Kyle will discuss the similarities between the history of hobbyist 3D printers and the history of some popular Linux distributions. He will then talk about some of the 3D printers available today and help you justify buying your own 3D printer with examples of useful things you can print for around the house. See you there!

NBLUG Elections

by Michael Tucker

Good Evening Fellow NBLUG'ers, The time of year is upon us again to nominate and elect members for NBLUG's Board of Directors. As a member of the Board, you will be invited to discuss NBLUG activities, search for speakers for future meetings, and eat dinner at Pongo's usually on or around the 3rd week of the month (although this is flexible and usually determined on a month to month basis depending on the needs of the board as a whole.) I have enjoyed the process personally, and have learned quite a bit about different aspects of Linux throughout this last year. Self nominations are allowed and encouraged. Elections will be held during November's general meeting, and we are still actively seeking out a speaker for November also. Thank you, Michael

This would be a good meeting to bring your computers or projects.

NBLUG General Meeting 2013/07/09 - Automobiles and Linux

by jezra

Start: 2013/07/09 7:30 pm End: 2013/07/09 ~9:00 pm Speaker: Alison Chaiken Location: O'Reilly Media Linux developers play a major role in bringing forth the surprisingly near-term technology of autonomous vehicles. The talk will present lessons from a few years of work on vehicular SW and make the case that automotive software will have an outsized societal impact. Imminent decisions by government and private industry will influence how long-running problems like privacy and security play out in this new space. What code is important in automotive Linux, and what's it like to work on it? What are the opportunities for software developers and EE's, and where might one get started? Alison Chaiken has worked as an automotive software developer for 3 years, starting with MeeGo-IVI at Nokia, continuing as a contractor, and then joining Mentor Embedded Software Division. She is the organizer of the Silicon Valley Automotive Open Source Group and rides bicycles in any time that is somehow left over. See you there! Jezra
