The copter itself is organised around the main CPU. The job of this CPU is to acquire the physical measurement given by the gyroscopes and accelerometers and to control the motors to keep the copter stable. This is done by a regulation loop which controls the motors speed 250 times per second. The radio communication has a pretty low bandwidth and is used to send commands to the copter and receive telemetry data from it. The CPU program can be updated by radio.

The computer runs control and telemetry programs. The control program reads the input from a game-pad and sends control commands to the copter. We also have programs that can configure the copter regulation parameters and log the measurements in order to make easier to tune the regulation. All the development is done on Windows and Linux. Indeed we are 3 to work on this project, two of us work on Linux and one is mainly on Windows. Using FLOSS permit to handle that in a very effective way. We are mainly using the GCC compiler from CodeSourcery for the copter program compilation, GNU Make for the project build, Mercurial for the source control, and python/pyusb for the communication with the copter. All these softwares works seamlessly on both Linux and Windows and made the project pretty easy to handle. The distance between the motors (horizontally and vertically) is around 8 cm and the total weight is around 20 g.

open-source social networking project Diaspora

if the team is half as good at building software as it is at building hype, there might be something interesting in the upcoming release, and maybe even a viable business.

The big challenge is that the enterprise developer world isn't screaming out for an open-source Facebook, nor are consumers really looking to run their own instances of social networks. What they really want is for Facebook to take privacy more seriously

Overview

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers. Tor's hidden services let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.

What is My N3RD? My N3RD (Pronounced Nerd) turns your smartphone into a remote control for every gadget, vehicle and appliance you own. It works with the My N3RD app to upgrade ANY switch into a wireless controlled, programmable, and automatic smart switch, updating all of your devices into intelligent connected ones. Connect and control devices directly. No internet connection or router required.   Works with DC and mobile applications such as Cars, RVs, and boats. With My N3RD, you aren’t just limited to home appliances. Connects to any switch, enabling you to upgrade virtually anything— not just simple appliances like fans and lights. Simple setup. You only need to configure functions in the App once, and you can reuse them again and again. My N3RD is equipped with two relays and two inputs that can be used with external switches and physical switches to create a wide variety of uses. My N3RD is smart. You can program My N3RD to act without your intervention. Use the app to set timers for appliances and electronics. Although My N3RD has direct connect capability, it can also be connected through your home WiFi so you can control your devices from anywhere. Upgrade anything to an Internet of Things device.

OpenLeaks

OpenLeaks is a project that aims at making whistleblowing safer and more widespread. This will be done by providing dedicated and generally free services to whistleblowers and organizations interested in transparency. We will also create a Knowledge Base aiming to provide a comprehensive reference to all areas surrounding whistleblowing.

Mini-bots

map out building interiors

The rolling droids are being developed by Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Pennsylvania, and the California Institute of Technology/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Equipped with two cameras and laser scanners, they can autonomously explore hallways in an unfamiliar building, detecting doors and windows, and create a map for users such as soldiers or firefighters. The project is part of the Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) program and is being sponsored by the Army Research Laboratory. The program is aimed at developing palm-size machines that can hover in place, enter buildings, and perform other insect-like stunts while gathering data and relaying it to human controllers.

Hackerspaces

Hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects. This website is for 'Anyone and Everyone',who wants to share their hackerspace with international hacker's'paces.
