ScotLUG :: 28th April 2016

[Kenny Coyle]

Hey all!

The next ScotLUG meeting will be on Thursday 28th April at the usual Spot,
the Electron Club in the CCA. We should be kicking around the Electron Club
around 7:00PM. We will be aiming to start the talk at 7:30PM.

This month we have a talk from Jeremy Singer, a lecturer in Computing
Science at the University of Glasgow.

Raspberry Pi devices are everywhere. Almost 10 million units have been
shipped. So what are we doing with them? In this talk, Jeremy will describe
two projects at Glasgow - based on cloud computing (using Raspberry Pi
racks to model a micro-datacenter) and internet of things (using Raspberry
Pi boards to sense how buildings are being used). This interactive talk
will feature Lego, Docker, Space Invaders, Burglar alarms and other cool
stuff.

Jeremy has interests in programming languages, virtual machines, cloud
computing and manycore processors. http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~jsinger or
@jsinger_compsci for more details.

Hope to see you all there!
