LinuxDay 2016 in Bernareggio

November 1, 2016 - Villanova di Bernareggio, IT

In Italy every year, during the last weekend of October, there is the Linux Day, an “open day” for the LUGs where they create events to publicize GNU/Linux and the Free Software. As usual (for the last 7 years now), the ViGLug organized this event and this time has been in Bernareggio (MB), a city less than half hour drive north-east from Milan. This year, for the first time in the ViGLug life, we have partnered up with other two organizations BrigX (the Bernareggio LUG) and the Coderdojo Brianza. This allowed us to have more diverse contents and to reach more people.

Today ViGLug organized the “Elettronica Libera” (free, as-speech, electronics) event in Settala.

In the morning, we had many sessions, and the focus was more on the general public and promoting those ideas with non-expert people. In the morning, many topics were covered, such as the various boards available, Linux, and the open-source software around them.

In the afternoon, the focus moved to more advanced topics, such as GPIO, OpenWrt, the networking bits, as well as a hands-on session.
