Note that Marvell is also supplying the very popular SheevaPlugs

Kurt Keville, Brian DeLacey and others discuss the 802.11s (Mesh)
standard and what it means for embedded Linux distros such as OpenWRT
and Robix, the distros of choice for the upcoming local Muniwireless
rollouts. Kurt gave earlier talks on Muniwireless at our February 2008
and August 2006 meetings

Pre: meeting - room 063
Brian and Kurt will be holding an all-afternoon pre-meeting, beginning
at noon in E51-063. This afternoon session will build a multi-node
solar-powered super computer as a clustered web-server using fast flash
and Marvell's SheevaPlugs. Rabeeh Khoury of Marvell will be onsite for
lots of Linux and SheevaPlug Q&A. Sage Radachowsky will be showcasing
his latest solar circuitry. The working SWARM system will be
demonstrated at the main meeting, but anyone is welcome to drop by and
pick up a soldering iron or keyboard to work with earlier in the day.


Post meeting. Not sure where we will be having it. JABR wants to go to
Atasca, but they close too early. We also may not be hungry. We'll play
it by ear.
