That's a great idea if we can coordinate that - if there are more people involved. The project for the 5 Project Days of the 9 day event is a Raspberry Pi Film Studio, which will fill all that time already.  But if a bunch of people want to join, then we can do both - otherwise we'd need to choose one or the other. 

That is above our pay grade as the curriculum is tightly defined already with less ambitious builds, though still exciting for the novice or rapid learner. If we have the higher pay grade people join from FOSDEM, this can happen. 

Luke, any thoughts on you stepping up and coordinating the maskless stepper module of this crazy evolution?

Hi
My idea was to use an LCD plus a lens system in order to build a mask less
stepper unit for manufacturing semiconductors.
This way the costs for the mask sets would fall away and you would suddenly
be able to provide something like a pooling service for semiconductors.

What do you think?

Something worth combining your brain power over in those said 9 days?

Cheers
