popeyno, indeed. i wasn't talking about him11:43
sebsebsebwho were the exes?11:43
popeygord allott, neil patel and david siegel all went to xamarin11:43
popeyThey seem happy there :)11:44
sebsebsebmight have heard of one of those names before11:44
sebsebsebsiegel maybe11:44
sebsebsebpopey: Canonical has your soul now :D and family, so no OGG Camp organising for you this year :d,  I read the site update last night11:44
popeyUh11:44
sebsebseb?11:44
popeyI never organised oggcamp11:45
zmoylan-pithis is canonicals plan. to elop the commercial software industry with all these ex canonical employees around... ;-)11:45
sebsebsebpopey: uh I thought you did, or did you just help with it a bit?11:45
ali1234i thought you did as well. wasn't the first one basically in your garden?11:45
popeyno11:45
popeyi helped organise the Farnham one11:45
foobarryi was at that one11:46
sebsebseboh right ok so only one11:46
ali1234oh, getting them mixed up then11:46
popeybut most have been in liverpool, and one in oxford and wolves11:46
foobarrythen it moved to the other side of the planet11:46
sebsebsebfoobarry: over side of planet? heh????11:46
sebsebsebother11:46
popeyDan/Mark/Tony/Les did most of the work11:46
foobarrynorth of watford innit11:46
sebsebsebDan has been quite ill so makes sense why he doesn't want to organise one for this year11:46
popeyali1234: after I saw your project I went looking for pi zero11:46
popeyyou basically can't buy them11:46
ali1234they announced a new board revision 12 hours after i ot my prototype boards11:46
popeyI guess because they were made out of surplus stock anyway11:47
popeyhaha11:47
sebsebsebsomeone quit the orgnaising at the event last time11:47
sebsebseblooks like none this year, but maybe next year11:47
popeyWell, Dan did most of the organising but he's been ill11:47
popeyso can't do it this year11:47
sebsebsebpopey: yep as I just put11:47
ali1234https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=144165&p=951891#p95189111:47

zmoylan-pioooh news on pi zero... http://www.recantha.co.uk/blog/?p=1455011:48
sebsebsebfoobarry: yep we could do with at least on UK open source event, but there only really was ogg camp right?11:48
popeynew pizero?11:48
popeyhopefully armv7?11:48
ali1234no11:48
zmoylan-pithey're starting production up again and adding a feature11:48
sebsebsebone above11:48
popeybah11:48
popey8?11:48
ali1234no!11:48
ali1234it will still be 611:48
ali1234it has a new feature, but nobody knows what it is yet11:48
ali1234it is probably audio, or (my guess) micro HDMI instead of mini11:49
zmoylan-pia ps/2 port \o/ :-)11:49
ali1234cos everyone complained about mini11:49
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch
ali1234it won't be header pins, because that would not require a board revision11:50
popeywifi?11:51
zmoylan-pia scsi port... :-)11:51
popeythat would need new chip11:51
zmoylan-pithey definitely said not wifi i think11:51
ali1234eben said it's not wifi11:51
popeyah11:51
ali1234that means it won't be bluetooth either cos they are the same chip11:51
zmoylan-piir11:51
ali1234unlikely, i dont think anyone asked for that11:52
zmoylan-pii know. i'm just thinking of ancient ports that i still like... :-)11:52
ali1234"To  thank you for your patience, we've taken advantage of the hiatus to add  a (much requested) new feature. I'll leave you all to guess what it is  (it's not WiFi)."11:53
zmoylan-pibeaming between palms/psions was so convenient...11:53
ali1234actually whatever it needs requires a firmware update so it's not micro HDMI11:53
ali1234that might rule out audio too since that's just device tree11:54
popeymore ram?11:56
zmoylan-pimore ram would be good11:56
zmoylan-pibut wouldn't need a firmware change i don't think11:57
ali1234possibly. they've never done 1GB stacked before though11:57
diddledanmaybe they're gonna do a dedicated bluetooth chip rather than a shared one?11:57
ali1234it would need a firmware update because of reasons11:57
diddledangotta love them reasons11:57
ali1234diddledan unlikely because it would cost the same as using the combo11:57
sebsebsebby11:57
diddledanI do lots of stuff because reasons11:57
sebsebsebe11:57
ali1234also RF testing etc11:57
sebsebsebbye11:57
daftykins\o11:57
diddledangood point11:57
* sebsebseb leaves IRC11:58
ali1234RAM configuration is done in the firmware due to how the VC sets up the ARM address space11:58
ali1234it's really complicated11:58
diddledanooh, maybe it is a ramboost then11:58
diddledancan you get 1GB POPs?11:59
ali1234no idea11:59
ali1234dont see why not though11:59
ali1234depends on the broadcom part11:59
* zmoylan-pi casts ward evil at mention of broadcom12:00
diddledanthey have the clout to get broadcom to do custom work these days tho so they might be able to get a new package which exposes a different POP interface allowing for larger piggy-backing RAM volumes?12:01
zmoylan-pithey have sold a lot of pi...12:01
diddledanthat would also lead-way to the pi3 getting a piggy-back in addition to it's reverse-side chip allowing for doule12:01
diddledandouble12:01
ali1234the videocore used int he raspberry pi cannot use more than 1GB so that won't happen12:02
diddledanaah12:02
diddledanthat's a shame :-(12:02
diddledanI wonder why that is a limitation12:02
zmoylan-pii think the pi 1gb of ram is the pi's biggest bottle neck at the mo12:02
diddledanzmoylan-pi: yeah12:03
ali1234because the videocore uses MIPS-style segmented memory12:03
zmoylan-pia 2gb or 4gb pi would be a full pc for me at this point... :-)12:03
ali1234http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7747265/why-in-mips-architecture-program-space-divided-into-4-areas12:03
diddledanzmoylan-pi: yeah that would work for me, too - as a webdev I don't need powerful gfx or cpu - as long as it boots fairly quick and there's enough ram to have multiple applications open I'm happy12:04
zmoylan-piand if i need games i can fire up c64 emulator on my dumbphone... :-)12:05
ali1234as a webdev don't you need to run firefox and chrome? and flash and html5 video? raspberry pi sucks at all these things12:06
diddledanvideo would be a requirement12:06
diddledanflash less so12:06
diddledannobody does flash these days12:06
ali1234fair enough. basically youtube doesn't work very well on the pi12:07

daftykinsnah i think they'll be out late July, talk is they're only releasing the mid-range first, top end at the end of the year12:16
daftykinsthis is the first time since 2010 that the manufacturing process is being reduced since the old 28nm standard in GPUs, so moving to 16nm or lower will be a huge change in efficiency12:17
