Girl Geek Dinners Auckland - Open media and Open source DDR
At Auckland's Girl Geek Dinner this month Tamara Olliver showed off her Open Source Dance Pad, and Cherie Carbines gave a demonstration of Open Media's myPVR.
Report from Cherie:
After quite a lot of interest was generated around myPVR at the last event; Cherie was asked to demonstrate myPVR at tonight's dinner.
With Steve there to answer the more technical questions, we did a
30minute demonstration. The audience were very interested in myPVR and seemed pleased to have the opportunity to see this technology in action.Some very interesting questions were asked, and we feel that we were able to answer them with knowledge and authority.
It was also good to see Tamara Olliver there - she was presenting a talk about the Open Source Dance Pad that she and her sister had made the year before. A full version of that talk was presented by Tamara and Kate at linux.conf.au Mel8ourne.
Keeping up the standards from the last dinner; the food was excellent and the conversation interesting and informative. In short - a very enjoyable evening!
