About us
Bristol is a hotbed for technology development with a pedigree for creating systems that blur the boundary between silicon and software.
This group will provide a forum for sharing ideas and innovations with a focus on uses of, or contributions to, open technologies. Each talk should have some form of ‘intellectual goody bag’ to take a way - be this a tool to experiment with, detailing a novel way to work, or something entirely different!
So if you use, develop, or maintain open projects in any aspect of your hardware and software design, we want to hear from you!
