| faithtng | Hey all, I’m Faith, glad to meet everyone here! Just got the announcement that I’d be working on implementing a working prototype of the USLP protocol and I’m excited to start :) thanks for selecting my proposal.
As a brief intro: I am a MSc candidate in Space Engineering and used to work for 6 years in the commercial space sector. I am also a hackathon enthusiast who has progressed to finalist/semifinalist stages for 4 space competitions, and am the Science Lead for the TU BEARS student rover.
One of my biggest motivators is being around passionate space people/teams, so I’m very much looking forward to getting to know the community💚 Cheers 🤘🏻 | 19:33:16 |
 Red | Dear Fellows of space exploration this is fantastic !
For organizers there is a part of surprise too because we never know how much GSoC is going to support.
This is pretty exceptional ! Husseinat Etti-Balogun Artur Scholz well done for everything ! | 20:24:29 |

 Hasan | I request admins to review and merge this MR to the pluto to pdf project:
https://gitlab.com/librecube/prototypes/python-pluto-pdf/-/merge_requests/1
Contains Several bug fixes and improvements, all the changes have been tested locally and found to be working nicely.
Detailed description of all the changes are included in the merge request :)

 Artur Scholz | cajt: With "ways" to do you mean "tools"? If so, whenever I look for an open source tool, I hit this site, enter a common industrial software package, and filter for open source alternatives. For example, alternatives to IBM DOORS: https://alternativeto.net/software/ibm-rational-doors/?license=opensource | 11:59:33 |
| Artur Scholz | Is it really just now that I realize that beagleboard is a better alternative to Raspi, as it is completely open source!?! ... ordering one right now... | 12:10:43 |
| Red | haha it is never too late 😄 | 12:22:17 |
| cajt | Well wel, if it should be open why not risc-v on a fpga with an open toolchain? | 15:52:43 |
| Artur Scholz | In reply to @cajt:matrix.org
Well wel, if it should be open why not risc-v on a fpga with an open toolchain? you mean, like this one: https://www.beagleboard.org/boards/beaglev-fire ? 😃 | 15:57:36 |
| cajt | Uhhhh | 15:58:14 |
| cajt | Ohh, that is moderately cheap and available | 15:58:56 |
| cajt | Was thinking more along the lines of Lattice SOI FPGA, some RAM and some SoC from the migen/liteX domain | 16:01:51 |
| cajt | Artur Scholz: is that the one you ordered? | 16:24:31 |
| cajt | But no built-in JTAG adapter, well maybe it's not needed | 17:48:24 |
| cajt | and the schematics and PCB design files are some propretairy CAD | 17:54:02 |

| cajt | One might redesign it in a libre CAD, and smash two into that pseudo PC104 format. Add some voting for primitive IOs and message level network access, would be a nice product. Could be uncritical cheap one of two, or a two of two configuration for a bit more reliability. B5F could remain the development plattform. | 10:45:37 |
