INTRODUCTION:
-------------
Unigroup is pleased to announce our October 2015 meeting on
The Raspberry Pi, a small and low cost single board computer
that can run a variety of operating systems, including: Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, Plan 9, and various others. At various prior
Unigroup meetings, we have discussed and/or demoed various
small system boards, including the Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone,
and Intel's Galileo. This is our first dedicated full meeting
on this interesting topic.
Unigroup's November 2015 meeting will be on the latest Intel
Processor Architecture Technology Roadmaps, presented by
Charles Milo from Intel, who has given Unigroup our previous
Intel Technology Roadmap presentations.
For December 2015, tentatively, there will be the annual
NYC Technical Groups Holiday Party. (Stay Tuned).
For January 2016, Unigroup's meeting may be held one week
earlier than normal (on the 2nd Thursday), due to easier
classroom availability at that time. (Stay Tuned).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
