  • Soldering RULES! by SelenaDe 22:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC), how to make cool stuff with heat, melty metals and Other Things. Fix your friend's broken hair driers! Make blinky things! Control your home heating system from your COMPUTER instead of pressing stupid buttons! (that requires more than just solder, but you know what I mean).

LinuxLibre: documenting devices that require non-free firmware

I'd like to talk about the recent effort that I have started to gather documentation on the devices that are not fully supported by free-software because non-free firmware is required. The purpose of documenting these devices in to foster the development of free firmware for them. This effort is complementar to the LinuxLibre effort.
