			=== Nanode soldering and hacking in Berlin 30 Sept/1 Oct 2011===

			Nanode is coming to Berlin! OptimaLabs is organizing a workshop to solder and hack the nanode. It's taking place as part of the MakerPlatz fest (Makerfaire-like event).

			EventBrite link to register: http://nanode-berlin.eventbrite.com/

			Nanode kits will be available for the incredible price of 24,50 EUR for take-away kits and 27 EUR if you want to join us and solder it on the spot. (As a compairison an arduino UNO + Ethernet shield cost 59 EUR).

			Soldering irons and soldering supplies will be available, but it would be great if you could bring some of these things:
			-soldering iron
			-FTDI cable
			-your laptop with Arduino IDE 022 installed
			-any arduino shield you want to experiment with.

			Your should also bring prototyping breadboards and any LEDs, servos, you want to hook to your Nanode.

			You can book yourself a nanode and a place in the workshop. First come first served!

			See you there!

			Workshop Moderators:

			Amin Zayani
			Founder of OptimaLabs, DIY energy monitoring solutions
			www.optimalabs.de

			Frank Oxener
			Ruby-on-Rails programmer and co-founder of the Dutch foundation Fablab.nl

	Invitation: [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/london-hack-space/AV6As-T0x6I/discussion Pachube/Nanode evening at London Hackspace, Thursday 1 Sept]		Invitation: [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/london-hack-space/AV6As-T0x6I/discussion Pachube/Nanode evening at London Hackspace, Thursday 1 Sept]

			Hello,

			After months of exciting progress and more than a handful of remarkable milestones Nanode is coming home: Ken Boak, the creator of this low-cost Internet-enabled microcontroller will visit the London Hackspace next week on Thursday 1 Sept, and with him Usman Haque and Ed Borden of Pachube, to talk about the Internet of Things and the Nanode project.

			This is a good opportunity to catch up on their respective progress (lots of recent news on all sides: Nanode Applications weekend, OggCamp, ...), a great chance for beginners to get familiar with both projects, and just generally a chance to hang out with the Nanode community.

			Everyone's invited, please spread the word!

			Is anyone interested in showing off their Nanode or Pachube projects? Get in touch with Ken or myself, or just bring it along on the night.

			martind.

			PS: As we were preparing this email we started collecting some of the news of the last weeks. It's virtually impossible to mention it all but I made an attempt to highlight the biggest news at the end of this invitation. Let us know if we missed anything or if I got anything wrong.

			==============

			Nanode & Pachube at the London Hackspace
			With Usman Haque and Ken Boak
			Thursday 1 Sept 2011 (starts around 8pm)

			Pachube (pronounced "PATCH-bay") is a London-based on-line database service provider allowing developers to connect sensor data to the Web and to build their own applications on it. It was created in 2007 by architect Usman Haque. Following the nuclear accidents in Japan in 2011, Pachube was used by volunteers to interlink Geiger counters across the country to monitor the fallout.
			http://pachube.com/

			Nanode is an open source Arduino-like board that has in-built web connectivity, designed by Ken Boak in late 2010. It is a low cost platform for creative development of web connected ideas. The first boards were produced for the London Hackspace in early 2011, and by mid-2011 more than 500 boards have been sold worldwide. Nanode boards can easily be soldered by absolute beginners in electronics.

			================
			= Pachube News =
			================

			Pachube remains a major supporter of the Nanode, they're sponsoring events and in the US Nanodes are bundled with Pachube accounts.

			In July Pachube announced that they were acquired by LogMeIn:
			http://blog.pachube.com/2011/07/pachube-just-got-some-rocket-fuel.html

			Among other things Pachube are working on new immersive ways of displaying sensor data:
			http://apps.pachube.com/porthole/

			Pachube user Marian Steinbach set up real-time Pachube feeds for 1,750 radiation data sensors in Germany:
			http://blog.pachube.com/2011/07/no-more-secrets-open-data-pioneer.html


			===============
			= Nanode News =
			===============

			The Nanode Applications Weekend was a great success. Some reports and videos are here:
			http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.com/2011/08/nanode-applications-weekend.html
			http://sustburbia.blogspot.com/2011/08/nanode-applications-weekend-and-gas.html
			http://lanyrd.com/2011/nanode-applications-weekend/video/

			The Nanode was also represented at OggCamp, where Ken Boak presented a review of the project so far http://blip.tv/episode/5492444 looking forward to hear more about this...
			http://oggcamp.org/

			Lots of Nanode documentation updates:
			http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Project:Nanode/Applications

			Andrew Lindsay is working hard on the Nanode software: an updated TCP stack, an updated bootloader, remote code upload, a RESTduino Nanode port, ...
			https://github.com/thiseldo/EtherShield
			https://github.com/thiseldo/NanodeBootLoader
			https://github.com/thiseldo/EtherShield_RESTduino
			http://blog.thiseldo.co.uk/?p=620
			http://blog.thiseldo.co.uk/?p=599

			Stephen Early started working on new uIP network stack, which among other things will support three concurrent TCP connections. Details at:
			https://github.com/sde1000/NanodeUIP

			Guenther Hoelzl started an IPv6 implementation based on uIP:
			http://sites.google.com/site/ghoelzl/ipv6ethershield/ipv6_telnet_server

			Bitlash author Bill Roy is now working on a Nanode-specific release with networking support. Bitlash is an interpreted language for Arduino-style microcontrollers:
			http://bitlash.net/

			Amran Anjum is refining RESTbitlash, a BitLash version with REST interface:
			https://github.com/amx109/RESTbitlash

			And finally Ken Boak announces that production of Nanode 5 will continue throughout the Autumn, with 500 new boards signed off in Shenzhen on 25/08/11. He is starting work on the Nanode Backpack (a new name for a Nanode Shield) and Nanode 6 with a bigger focus on wireless connectivity and plug and play user-friendliness... I'm very curious.
