brcon2025: Friday is Embedded Gopher Day!

Friday is a special day in brcon schedules. People will arrive at the
physical venue. From this spirit, we will try an experiment:

Hosting embedded ESP23C3 boards with a public IP and allowing people to
flash them with their services. These boards have wifi, are 32 bit RISC
and can be (locally) soldered with whatever sensor you like.

The main goal is to write simple gopher services and showing the world,
what flexibility you have on such small hardware. Other fun projects on
other protocols are welcome too.

Here is the preliminary schedule, which can change due to arrival times:

       2025-08-01 - [[ Day 4 Embedded / Arrival Day ]]
            20:00 - Introduction to Micropython Gopher programming by josuah/20h.
                  - Embedded gopher online/local cluster introduction.
                  - All day and weekend: Free service programming for everyone.

The embedded cluster will be there for the whole weekend or if we find
some other solution in maybe my server room, for a longer time.

See you at brcon2025!

Have fun!


Sincerely yours,

20h
Chief Cluster Executive (CCE)
