[svlug-announce] SVLUG May meeting: Linux-Based IoT: From Prototype to Production, with Drew Moseley

WHEN:

Tuesday, May 15th, 2018  (note special meeting date!)
7 - 8:30pm



MAIN PRESENTATION

TOPIC: Linux-Based IoT: From Prototype to Production

PRESENTED BY: Drew Moseley
Customer Engineer for Northern.tech / Mender.io


TOPIC SUMMARY:

We will discuss some of the considerations engineers should consider
when designing a Linux-based connected device.  These devices are
increasingly common in the Internet of Things.  We will discuss hardware,
software, security, and how to bring it all together.  We will present a
demo solution using a Raspberry Pi device, and provide a build
environment and instructions for attendees to use on their own hardware.

SVLUG is pleased to co-sponsor this meeting with Silicon Valley Linux
Technology Meetup
(https://www.meetup.com/Silicon-Valley-Linux-Technology/events/249748593/).
