Månedens tema er: «Flying rockets with Free Software» med Bdale Garbee.
Foredraget vil foregå på engelsk. Kort om presentasjonen:

  High power model rocketry is a hobby that lives at the intersection of
  engineering, craftsmanship, and visceral thrill. While designing and
  building airframes capable of exceeding the speed of sound on the way
  to impressive heights is a big part of the challenge, rocket
  enthusiasts also depend on electronics and software to ensure safety
  and return each airframe to be flown again.

  In addition to holding the highest level of certification in the
  rocketry hobby and volunteering his time to local and national
  rocketry clubs and events (including the annual NASA student launch),
  Bdale also co-founded Altus Metrum, LLC, a provider of avionics for
  the rocket hobby based entirely on open hardware designs and Free
  Software.

  In this session, Bdale will share his enthusiasm about the rocketry
  hobby, explaining how everything he does from designing the rockets
  and propellants, to designing and manufacturing electronics, to
  running a successful open hardware business, is all accomplished with
  100% Free Software!

A contributor to Free Software since 1979, Bdale Garbee is perhaps best
known for his quarter-century as a Debian developer. He retired early,
after serving for more than a decade as CTO of HP's Linux business
before being named an HP Fellow. In addition to co-founding and managing
Altus Metrum, LLC, Bdale also serves on several non-profit foundation
boards, including the Software Freedom Conservancy, the Freedombox
Foundation, and Amateur Radio Digital Communications.
