There are a few holes in the stack, and as a community we can get started on fundamental tools that will make things easier for all of us. Some topics that came up in the session on Saturday.</p> <p>The tools for programming FPGA's are all proprietary let's design an open source FPGA, most of the patents are running out soon.</p> <p>There are open source 3d modeling tools, but will they tell you where the center of gravity of your amature rocket is? That's an important thing to know when it passes mach 1.</p> <p>Radio is awesome.</p> <p>Look for an "Art of Community" book, or a tshirt that says "free as in freedom" amongst the dorkbot crowd to find the discussion. Don't worry if you miss this meeting there isn't even a listserv up yet it's a meeting of convenience as many of the people from Saturday's discussion are going to be at DorkBot anyways.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://etherpad.opensourcebridge.org/bcp4-7g0">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
