Many developer in Christchurch have been waiting for a meeting on Scala.

IMPORTANT could you please RSVP through our new Meetup as space is limited at the Alchemy Offices, but if we get too many we will move to a larger venue.

In 2011, Sumit Khanna was an out of work software engineer living in Cincinnati, Ohio. At a friend's birthday party, he met Andrew Rettig, a Geographer who was researching sensor networks. Together they re-purposed off-the-shelf home routers with OpenWRT, an embedded Linux distribution. Together, they published several papers on using low cost embedded hardware to develop sensor networks, which lead to BigSense.

BigSense is a web service written in Scala. It stores and aggregates sensor data from LtSense, a Python application designed to be run on embedded systems. Both are open source and are being actively developed for researchers and students to be used for gathering sensor data. In this talk, Sumit will discuss the design of BigSense/LtSense and how it was applied to monitoring storm water run-off in Cincinnati.
