The first day, I went to the Open Hardware Miniconf to build a monkey car with video analysis fed to tensorflow
LCA had lots of attendees as usual, enough ot overfill the main keynote room. The usual suspects/friends were there as usual:






Ah yes, the shirt and glasses, that's because of my talk Using Open Hardware from my shirt to OS testing for Google's Fuchsia
Lots of talks, thankfully they were recorded as there were 2-3x as many talks as I was able to see:
