Subject: [svlug] SVLUG September 7th meeting: David Stern on 'Roku - embedded Linux music and video boxes'
To: "Silicon Valley Linux Users Group" <svlug@lists.svlug.org>

WHEN:

 Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
 7pm-9pm

MAIN PRESENTATION

 TOPIC:
   Roku - embedded Linux music and video boxes

 PRESENTED BY:
   David Stern

 TOPIC SUMMARY:
   It's been an exciting year for embedded Linux appliances, and
   Saratoga-based Roku, Inc., started by ReplayTV founder Anthony Wood, is
   one of the brightest rising stars. Roku's lead software engineer David
   Stern will share Roku's Linux story with us. Be sure to bring your
   business card, as Roku will probably have a couple of Roku's signature
   video player boxes to give away in a raffle.

 ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
   David Stern is the engineer principally responsible for the software
   embedded in Roku's product line of networked audio and video players,
   which are all Linux-based. Prior to working at Roku, he served stints
   at Netflix, and before that at consumer electronics firms D&M Holdings
   and Openglobe, Inc. He earned his baccalaureate and masters degrees in
   computer science.

LOCATION:

 Symantec
 VCAFE Facility
 350 Ellis Street (near E. Middlefield Road)

POST-MEETING GATHERING:

 If you just can't get enough, a smaller group usually goes to a local
 restaurant/diner after the meeting:  Frankie, Johnnie & Luigi, Too,
 939 West El Camino Real between Shoreline and Castro, Mountain View.

We look forward to seeing you there!
