[ale] [ANNC] ALE-NW @ SPSU MTG. for Thurs., Aug. 30, 2012 at 7:30pm

[Aaron Ruscetta]

The next ALE-NW at SPSU meeting is being held
Thursday, Aug. 30th, 2012 at 7:30pm in room J-266
of the Atrium (J) building on the SPSU campus.

The feature presentation will be Orlando Karam's
most excellent presentation on:

    Linux on ARM and the Raspberry Pi

Abstract:
-- ARM is a family of computer architectures, different from x86,
and characterized for its low cost and low power consumption.
Many cell-phones and tablets run on ARM, and now there are
many low-cost low-power servers running on ARM. We will
discuss some of the available hardware and the status of the
software, with a special focus on the Raspberry-Pi, a $35
computer system designed with a focus on education, but
useful on many domains.

Bio:
-- Presenter: Orlando Karam was born in the US but grew up
in Mexico. He got hooked up on Unix while a grad student at
Tulane University, and has been running Linux on servers and
laptops for more than 15 years. He teaches computer science
at Southern Poly, and has been playing with his raspberry pi
since he got it 6 weeks ago.
