powered flight on another planet, and was programmed using an open
source embedded systems framework available to you! Come for a
discussion about the Mars Helicopter project, the F´ framework used to
architect the software, and the journey to make this framework open
source. Feel free to bring questions pertaining to both ingenuity, and
the F´ as this will be a moderated session with a Q&A format. Expect
to learn a bit about embedded system development, challenges posed by
open source, lessons learned, and a lot more!<br><br>BIO<br><br>Michael
Starch has been a software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
for over a decade. In that time he designed and built cloud-scale data
processing systems, engineered flight control software, and pushed open
source software development. Most recently he was the Mars Helicopter
Downlink and Tools lead for Ingenuity's first powered flight on another
planet. He also functions as the cognizant engineer and community
manager of the open source F′ embedded systems framework, which is used
to control a number of spacecraft including Ingenuity itself.<br><br>Michael
graduated with a computer engineering degree from the University of
Michigan. He has been an active member in the San Gabriel Valley Linux
User Group for a number of years and in his free time he mentors at a
local high school Girls Who Code club. He thoroughly enjoys talking
about anything tech!</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><span></span>Agenda:<br>6:45 - Introductions, chat<br><div>7:05 - Announcements</div><div>7:15 - Moderated Q&A starts<br></div></div><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">Lan<br></div></div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></div>
