Auckland Girl Geek Dinner #4 - Hardware Geekery

Hardware Geekery

The fourth Girl Geek Dinner event in Auckland is being held at Microsoft House.

There are no door sales for this event. Tickets are $30 per person and need to be purchased in advance from the website http://girlgeekdinner... or by using the Paypal link on this page. If you don't have a credit card there are instructions detailing how to pay by direct credit on the website http://girlgeekdinner.... Food and drink are included in the ticket price.

The theme for this event is hardware development, including designing modern home entertainment systems (codecs/coding/firmware) and building homemade game console interfaces. These speakers know which end of a soldering iron to hold. :-)

We have Cherie Carbines and Steven Ellis from OpenMedia who will be demonstrating MediaCentres and explaining the technical nitty gritty that goes into building them, plus we have a young lady called Tamara Olliver as a speaker. When Tamara was 15 she rebuilt the playstation dance mat to make it more robust then open sourced the code and hardware designs.

Feel free to bring along a gadget or geeky piece of hardware that you think other people would get a kick out of seeing/playing with. If you think it's cool, other people probably will as well.

We'll have a quiz again and will have some goodies to give away to people attending.
