SynerG Tech Party 01

EAT-CODE-REPEAT

Wait, what?

Tech party is a time to get our hands dirty with a new piece of technology. There is only one limitation.

It has to be cool ¹

This week's plan

Hello world! UEFI application
Simple UEFI client server network application
Measure N/W throughput. Is it better than when OS is running?
Measure power consumption of C-S application with, and without OS.

Why is it cool?

Pre-boot environment, no OS (may) means better performance for (some) code
Feature rich - supports networking
Many projects we are working on are concerned with getting OS out of the way, UEFI may give some ideas

Logistics

Bring your own laptop, UEFI networking doesn't work in lab machines. UEFI VM image also isn't very reliable.
Bring a pendrive.

Please vote for a Preferred time, for this weeks party

Tech Party FAQs

A 4-point Agenda

Decide upon a technology, and hack
Blog about it after the event
The blog is intended to be a getting starting guide for the technology
Upload code to github

When?

Preferably on weekends, when people have some free time, and they are in a mood to have fun.

Agenda?

Decide the technology a week in advance. Propose topics, take poll, volunteer.

What it is and what it is not

This should not be a 1:many interaction, in which one teaches, and others listen. Preferably a group effort, where all contribute equally.

But you mentioned volunteer?

Yes, there should be a volunteer who sends out invitation, manages logitics, and uploads a short descrition of the event, once it ends. This discription should preferably be in the form of a getting started guide for the technology.
