Oddly enough, I just got back from Florida this weekend. We flew part of the way back on a Delta/Boeing 767 that had "Personal Entertainment Displays" in the seats. Just before takeoff the whole system rebooted and there was Tux! The system was embedded somewhere and used the same redboot as my NSLU2 device (see <a href="http://www.nslu2-linux.org">www.nslu2-linux.org</a>) that I've been mucking around with. Sadly the system was in need of a good re-programming as the in-flight GPS map kept switching back and forth from english to spanish, and it needs a user accessable touchscreen calibration option as mine was WAY off.<br>

This is just a reminder that we have a meeting on 11/19. Ostensibly,<br>
the topic will be embedded systems, but if there's anything else that<br>
people want to discuss, that'll be fair game too.<br>
<br>
Planned agenda:<br>
<br>
Embedded Systems Presentations:<br>
<br>
* Devices running Linux<br>
* Installing Linux on non-Linux devices<br>
* Non-Linux Embedded *nix systems: NetBSD, QNX<br>
* Asterisk / CallWeaver (if there is interest)<br>
<br>
Activity<br>
<br>
* Show and Tell of Linux devices<br>
* Install Linux on your non-Linux toy<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, a thought. There seems to have been a lot more random emails<br>
coming to the list asking for people to help out with little Linux<br>
projects here and there. Would there be interest in making a list of<br>
LUG members who would be interested in this sort of freelance work where<br>
we can publish our specialties and our rates? Would that step too close<br>
to "commercial"? Let's discuss it at the meeting on Wednesday too.<br>
