[LCA2019 Chat] OpenPOWER BoF Session

[Hugh Blemings]

Hiya,

We had a good amount of interest around the BoF we ran on OpenPOWER [0] 
in Sydney so I thought it would make sense to do one in Christchurch.

Tentatively scheduled for Thursday [1]

I'll bring along a pre-production micro-ATX "Blackbird" mobo from Raptor 
[2] for people to look at and some stickers or other OpenPOWER schwag :)

If you're interested please add your name to the Wiki, should have room 
details etc. squared away shortly.

Cheers,
Hugh




[0] For those unfamiliar with OpenPOWER - it's one of if not the most 
open high performance platforms out there at present and a direct 
descendant of PowerPC.  On designs like the Blackbird you get an open 
hardware design and entirely open software stack BIOS to OS to Apps. 
Full disclosure - I work for the OpenPOWER Foundation :)
