[wellylug] Presentation idea for September 30th

[Jeremy Gold]

>> Hi All,
>>
>> I've just joined the group, so hope this is the appropriate place to
>> post this.
>>
>> I was just looking for the date of the next meeting so I could tag
>> along, and noticed a recent message in the discussions asking if anyone
>> wanted to do a presentation on the 30th. It occurred to me I might be
>> able to help with this, so I figure I'll jump in the deep end and offer
>> to do a presentation about some stuff I'm doing at work at the moment.
>>
>> A bit of background info:
>> * I work for a Wellington based company called Surveylab, developing a
>> device called ikeGPS, which is a handheld integrated GPS, Laser Range
>> Finder, Digital Compass, 5MP Camera, and ruggedized PDA (www.ikegps.com
>> for more info)
>> * The 5MP camera in our latest product is running embedded linux on a
>> Texas Instruments DaVinci Multimedia processor.
>>
>> I don't know what the usual format is for presentations, but I can
>> probably talk through some slides for half an hour or so about the
>> process involved in developing for linux in an embedded environment like
>> this if that would be useful...
>>
>> Please let me know if this sounds good, and I can start working on some
>> slides...

Hi Jethro,

Cool, I'll get to work on some slides... I'll bring my Laptop along and
use that with the projector.

Look forward to meeting everyone then!

Cheers,
