We've rolled around into another week and Tuesday has again arrived, so this evening the space will be open to any and all who want to come along.
If you're planning to come in reply to -discuss to let folks know that you'll be there and what plans you've got. I'm planning to get some more of the changes needed in hackhub to move it to its new home done (or more likely drink beer and glower at the code wondering which idiot thought that was a sane way to do things). This week also has TechMeetup tomorrow, with Tony talking about the Parallella: "Hi-Ho Silver Lining... Parallella is a credit-card size SBC (Single Board Computer) inspired by the RPi (Raspberry Pi) that was crowd-funded through a successful 'Kickstarter' project by its manufactuer Adapteva. Like the RPi it has an ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) processor on board, but the ARM on Parallella is there to provide a host environment to control a MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) array of mesh-connected 'Epiphany' CPU's using a Zynq FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The main objective of the Parallella project is to democratise access to parallel computers and encourage the development of grass-roots support for open hardware and software to do parallel computing in a similar way that the RPi has done for conventional (serial) computing: The Parallella project aims to make parallel computing accessible to everyone. It has sometimes been a controversial project, a victim of its own hype, but over 10,000 Parallella boards have been shipped and the project may well succeed in its main objective."
