Re: Too bad about redhat...

by Dennis Payne

IBM of today is far different than the IBM that started investing in Linux. They have sacrificed the long term for short term profits. The question in my mind is does IBM realize this? Will they use Red Hat to reinvigorate? Or will they just cost cut it to death as well? https://www.cringely.com/2018/10/29/red-hat-takes-over-ibm/

Too bad about redhat...

Sad trombone for redhat or do you think IBM won't screw it up? -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Eagle to KiCad conversion?

by John Stoffel

Guys, This is a total shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone here has taken an Eagle project design, stripped out pretty much everything but the holes and outline of a board, and them imported it all into KiCad 5? I'm trying to build a cape for an AdaFruit Gemma M0 board (which I'll be happy to talk about at some point down the line at a meeting) where it auto-matically turns my sound bar on/off and the TV is turned on/off. Not more having to hunt for the sound bar remote! I've been vaguely beating my head against the wall here, esp since it's my first ever board design. Lots to learn! John

Pocket Arcade and Tiny Arcade

by Dennis Payne

I received a Tiny Arcade from Tiny Circuits. It is an interesting toy. I've had a lot of fun playing with it. They recently released the Pocket Arcade. I purchased two. This is even better than the Tiny Arcade. I've been working on a new game for the system. It is a pokemon like game where you paint your monsters. It's still early in development. I've been writing about the development. http://identicalsoftware.com/games/colormonster http://identicalsoftware.com/games/colormonster2 -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com Roon's Raccoon Sprintladder: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/126010

Reminder! Meeting Tomorrow! Sept. 13th, 2018 @7pm.

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, This is a reminder we've got a meeting on Thursday Sept. 13th, 2018. Time: 7pm Location: WPI Campus Center Mid Century Rm (rm 331) "The usual spot" Topic: git LFS (Large File Support) I thought I would give a quick talk using git as a backup solution for larger files. After that I figured the conversation would branch out. I'd also like to poll the group and see what people would be interested in for topics. As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off to dinner afterwards to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
