UPGRADE INDUSTRIES Pinguino-Wiki BeagleBoard.org - community supported open hardware computers for making Village Telco » Mesh Potato Mesh Potato Click for larger view The Mesh Potato is a device for providing low-cost telephony and Internet in areas where alternative access either doesn’t exist or is too expensive. It is a marriage of a low-cost wireless access point (AP) capable of running a mesh networking protocol with an Analog Telephony Adapter (ATA).Here is the story of how the idea of the Mesh Potato came about. The first prototypes of the Mesh Potato were built in June of 2009, almost exactly a year after the Mesh Potato concept was conceived of. The production Mesh Potato can be seen at the right. The Mesh Potato went on sale in September 2010 and can be ordered through the online store of this website.

CutyCapt - A Qt WebKit Web Page Rendering Capture Utility BeagleBoard The BeagleBoard is a low-power open-source hardware single-board computer produced by Texas Instruments in association with Digi-Key and Newark element14. The BeagleBoard was also designed with open source software development in mind, and as a way of demonstrating the Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 system-on-a-chip.[7] The board was developed by a small team of engineers as an educational board that could be used in colleges around the world to teach open source hardware and software capabilities. It is also sold to the public under the Creative Commons share-alike license. The board was designed using Cadence OrCAD for schematics and Cadence Allegro for PCB manufacturing; no simulation software was used.[citation needed] Features[edit] Built-in storage and memory are provided through a PoP chip that includes 256 MB of NAND flash memory and 256 MB of RAM (128 MB on earlier models). The board uses up to 2 W of power and can be powered from the USB connector, or a separate 5 V power supply.

Open Source Hardware Initiative As both an electrical engineer and professional software developer, I'd like to start an open source hardware movement similar to the open source software movement that has currently been happening. I've seen ideas similar to this from other people before, although not well thought out nor articulated correctly, and definitely not the same thoughts I have about the subject. This (somewhat long) post is a summary of my ideas, hoping to get some feedback from other people. Open source software has been around for awhile. Open source hardware obviously has different requirements. Many people believe that open source hardware has to be all about integrated circuits (IC's) on chips. Now that the whole IC issue is out of the way, back to the PCB router. The users can get a desktop PCB router by either 1) Downloading open source plans for the router and building it himself. 2) Having his/her friend who already built one build a replicate. Sorry for writing a huge essay here.

Google’s Bigtable Distributed Storage System, Pt. I Google rolls out new applications to millions of users with surprising frequency, which is pretty amazing all by itself. Yet when you look at the variety of the applications, ranging from data-sucking behemoths like webcrawling to intimate apps like Personalized Search and Writely it is even more startling. How does the Google architecture manage the conflicting requirements of such a wide range of workloads? Bigtable, a Google-developed distributed storage system for structured data, is a big piece of the answer. Isn’t The Google File System The Answer? If It’s a Storage System, Where Are The Disks? This article is adapted from a paper entitled Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data(PDF) that was just released. Scale To Thousands Of Terabytes And Servers Every good product solves a problem. So, It’s A Database, Right? So It’s The Mother Of All Spreadsheets? So Far, I Get It. So Bigtable Stores Everything Forever . . . GFS. Comments, as always, welcome.
