The LinuxCNC project is making headway these days. A lot of +patches and issues have seen activity on +the project github +pages recently. A few weeks ago there was a developer gathering +over at the Tormach headquarter in +Wisconsin, and now we are planning a new gathering in Norway. If you +wonder what LinuxCNC is, lets quote Wikipedia:
+ ++"LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of +machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, +cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or +joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has +several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen, +interactive development)." ++ +
The Norwegian developer gathering take place the weekend June 16th +to 18th this year, and is open for everyone interested in contributing +to LinuxCNC. Up to date information about the gathering can be found +in +the +developer mailing list thread where the gathering was announced. +Thanks to the good people at +Debian, +Redpill-Linpro and +NUUG Foundation, we +have enough sponsor funds to pay for food, and shelter for the people +traveling from afar to join us. If you would like to join the +gathering, get in touch.
+ +As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my +activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address +15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b.
