[sudo-discuss] workshop weekend

[Hilary Naylor]

Hi all,
  Enclosed is a flyer for the workshop that you may post or email to friends.

The below message came from the Noisebridge list, and is very closely
related to what we are trying to do in our workshop. It might be seen
as the next step for those who participate in our workshop.

cheers
Hilary

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] From NAND gates to Tetris... wanna do it?

In doing research on MOOC, I ran into this video. It's a computer
science program that I'm personally excited about. It's a *perfect*
Noisebridge project.

One can build a computer (from the scratch: NAND gates -> Chip Sets ->
Hardware Platform -> Assembler -> Virtual Machine -> Operating System
-> Compiler -> Tetris Game).

    Here is the Ted talk that I saw that introduced me to the program:

    Here are the course materials:

This is incredibly good (and exciting) stuff. Is this already on the
noisebridge calendar? Should it be? (+1 votes accepted).

Kindest Regards,
Glen
