****Bill Lindley: Control The World (or whatever you want) With Linux
and a Raspberry Pi *
*Description*:
We will see how a $35 Raspberry Pi (or even the $9 version), a
breadboard and a bit of circuitry connected to the SPI and I2C buses can
control pretty much anything: a thermostat; a "self driving" model car;
or a clock-radio that also displays software build progress and your
corporate network uptime status.
*Biography*:
Mr. Lindley has been in the computer industry since he sold his first
program (a printer driver for Heathkit HDOS) in 1980. He has used system
from the earliest 8-bit microprocessors, through the PDP-11 and VAX, up
to IBM mainframes, and has managed to write programs that did not crash
on most of them. Mr. Lindley has been a GNU/Linux user since 1992 and
has been free of proprietary software since 2001. Most recently he has
been pleased to be an adjunct professor at Mesa Community College.
*Rajendran Rathinasabapathy: In the crossroads of Agility, Microservices
and Cloud computing*
*Description*:
Being a project manager for a while evolving along with the evolution in
the IT landscape of agility, microservices and cloud computer, I see a
pattern in the painful ordeal teams go through, especially when
collaboration is needed more than ever to build systems. The topic is
very relevant when highly individualistic opensource programmers work
together. In this presentation, as the subject is vast, I layout a list
of critical blind spots and pitfalls the teams can avoid while designing
and developing larger applications.
*Biography*:
Working in IT for the past 20 years from being a developer to a
portfolio manager. Currently involved in strategizing CI/CD for a
sub-domain in info security. with varied tech stacks. I am a proponent
of microservices and also a scrum master. In my free time, I learn to
make digital an analogue circuits. I teach programming and robotics to
kids and I am learning Jiu-Jitsu :-)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The meeting will start at 7pm at The Desert Breeze Substation. People
start arriving as early as 6pm, so if you would like to help setup

not mandatory.
