The so called Flying Laptop was a student project and we are fortunate enough to have Barry give us a talk as he has contributed to elements of the system bus. As it’s a very current topic Barry is hoping to give this overview now and an even more supdupa one latter on in the year ;-). Talk is as usual at the Cock Hotel Wellington starting at 7pm.
