Meeting Minutes

Rob Wehrli, Arizona Cooperative Power and Larry Gagliani, Hitachi - µClinux

Z-World, Davis


Arizona Cooperative Power and O'Reilly donated enough copies of Programming Embedded Systems that we were able to give a copy out to everyone! Everybody also got a Hitachi swiss army knife, a tin of mints, and an O'Reilly coupon!


Rob holding up an embedded kit.


We dig into the dozen pizzas and 70 sodas our speaker bought for us!


... And spend a while eating and socializing before the talk.


Yum!


For making the closest guess as to how many Linux distributions exist today (about 250), this fellow won a copy of Heretic II, compliments of LUGOD.


We continue club business.


Marianne Waage - one of many who sneak some more pizza.


John Alden points out that Ikea in Emeryville has adorable plush penguins for only $1.00!


We prepare to raffle!


First up - a Hitachi tote-bag!


Ensuring the randomness of the raffle (Rhonda won the tote-bag)


Next - a copy of Programming Linux Games


Pete Salzman holding up the next raffle item: A copy of Running Linux, donated by ACP and O'Reilly.


Winner!


We started raffling off Hitachi T-shirts...


...(H8 shirts, to be exact)...


...But confusion led to raw, unbridled give-aways.


Rob Wehrli, beginning his talk. (Did we mention he's from Hawaii?)


Full from pizza, but still awake!


Brian Lavender of SacLUG volunteered to switch slides.


More Rob Wehrli.


An embedded kit makes a good example.


A brief overview of the H8 CPU's internals.


Another close-up of the embedded kit.
