US company, chumby industries has just opened an office in Singapore and this coming Friday, Andrew “bunnie” Huang –of hacking XBox fame– , GM of the Singapore office, chumby industries, pte ltd, will be at the Hackerspace in Singapore to present the chumby ecosystem and meet fellow hackers.
In their words, “We design quirky embedded linux computers for cloud-connected consumer electronics. Our hardware and software are hacker-friendly, as we publish our schematics, design files, and source code to enable individual innovators like you to be creative with our devices.”
In Friday night’s session, bunnie will give a presentation about the chumby ecosystem, how the device and the servers work, and also take apart the “chumby One” device and show you its guts. He will also introduce a new product that is just entering Beta testing, the chumby hacker board, a product designed specifically to enable hackers like you to build your own embedded linux systems quickly and cheaply. Interaction is encouraged, and if you have an itch to hack during the presentation, bunnie will have a couple devices available for you to play with. At the end of the presentation, they will hold a raffle for a consumer chumby One device and for a free spot in the hacker board Beta testing program.
