Is a projector needed again? If ours isn't already reserved for 
some purpose, I'll volunteer it again.

> PLUG Devel Meeting on Embedding Linux
> 
> What: PLUG Developer Meeting
> When: Monday, April 7, 2003 @ 7:00 PM
> Where: Adtron Corporation, 3710 E. University Drive, Suite 5, Phoenix, AZ 
> 85034
> (Enter at Suite 4.  Full directions on PLUG web site at 
> http://plug.phoenix.az.us/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=1&categories=General+Plug+Questions&parent_id=0#3. 
> under Development Group Meeting.)
> 
> Rob Wehrli will be presenting uClinux on Hitachi H8S.  uClinux brings the 
> power of Linux to the embedded world.  Your next toaster might be running 
> Linux!  He will use the open source project to port uClinux to the Hitachi 
> H8S-2674R processor as a dicussion platform on the porting and debugging 
> process.
> 
> The "u" in uClinux is really the greek letter "mu" which stands for "micro" 
> and the "C" indicates "controller."  So, uClinux is "micro-controller Linux."  
> uClinux is a Linux port designed for operation on smaller processors in 
> embedded envronments where resourses such as memory and storage space are 
> much more restrictive than a desktop PC.
> 
> If you are an embedded systems developer or are curious about embedding Linux, 
> this is a presentation you will not want to miss.  The rest of you PHP, 
> Python, XML, etc. guys are also welcome to come and see what "real" 
> programmers do.  ;^)
> 
> Pizza and soft drinks will be provided by Arizona Cooperative Power for our 
> consumption!  Several door prizes, including programming books (even ones 
> about PHP) are on the block so don't forget to sign in and grab a ticket on 
> the way to the pizza.
> 
> About the speaker:
> 
> Rob Wehrli is the Director of Engineering at Arizona Cooperative Power in 
> Glendale, Arizona. Rob has many years of experience with Linux, and writes 
> numerous technical articles for various industry publications, and has 
> designed a number of exciting platforms including several Windows CE and 
> embedded Linux portables before taking on the "uClinux" port to the Hitachi 
> H8S-2148 and H8S-2674R embedded micro-controllers.  He is scheduled to 
> deliver a presentation on a similar topic at the Embedded Systems Conference 
> in San Francisco later in April.
