Jelle is an allround freelance open IT-specialist. He develops, supports and maintains hard- and software, Small Medium Enterprises (SME) Linux servers and custom desktops systems. He is also active in several organizations to expand and explain the use of open standards and free/libre open source software (FLOSS).
In this talk Jelle is going to talk about hardware development with complete FLOSS based development tools. He is going to show the OpenARM Single Board Computer Project (SBC) and will explains some things about the Emdebbian project.
If possible there will be a real hardware demonstration of developed hardware with the GNU Electronic Design Automation (gEDA) and GNU PCB design tools. There will be a positive vs negative standoff for proprietary vs FLOSS electronic design tools and some perspective on workflows.
The target audience is both for technical and non-technical people, so this talk will be accessible for everybody.
