Technical Specifications

 

We will have projectors available in both rooms with standard VGA connections. A few adapters will be knocking about for those bringing Macs, but it's still a good idea to pack a spare. Free wireless internet will be provided on the day, and we'll try to have power strips running along the seating for laptops, etc. However, we may not have enough power strips, so please bring along one yourself, if you can.

 

Linux Hardware Session

 

Bring along your devices that run Linux, and show them off. If you can bring something, add it to the following list. (and wonder why it has to be Linux? It doesn't have to be Linux, but it has to run free and open source software, so that it is legally hackable. BSD is fine, or even Java.)
