[Alex samide]

I also have to agree with a greater interest in embedded items and would be interested in such things.

MJH
I am more interested in embedded FLOSS as well.
I volunteer to be one of your myrmidons.
I would like to expand the charter of CLUE to engulf FLOSS / POSH.
( sounds good ==>  BeagleBoard, Arduino, Atmel (AVR), Angstrom,
Yocto, Linaro, kernel dudes, compiler dudes and the Crosstool-NG dude,
Buildroot and Das U-Boot, etc. )

Does Denver/Boulder/COSprings/FtCollins  have enough geeks ?????
