PLUG is hosting a panel on Free Software, Open Standards and fun
anecdotes for space and space travel. The panel will be composed of
people who have worked on projects for NASA and JPL.
Bio: Austin is the Science Operations Lead for the Mastcam-Z
multispectral camera system on the upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission. He
has developed and currently oversees similar operations on both
operating Mars rovers, Curiosity and Opportunity. This role consists of
interacting with the science team, supervising instrument operations,
software development and systems administration. He currently manages
about 50 mixed Ubuntu and CentOS machines and maintains a number of
software projects, some of which are open source.
Bio: Darrin has been developing software since the 80's, currently for
Limelight Networks, and previously in areas ranging from a NASA space
mission to finance to 3D modelling. Darrin has been developing for Linux
and/or BSD since the 90's, and exclusively since 2008.
Please feel free to reply to this message with any questions that you
would like the panel asked and we will try and work them in.
We go for food/Discussion afterward the meeting to BJs at the nearby mall.
