Raspberry Pi teams up with Arduplane
Came across this very interesting article on the register
"A British-led Japan-based group is building a free-software-powered flying robot for use by disaster relief organisations – and at its heart is tech darling the Raspberry Pi.
There are lots of uses for the £30 Pi, from an educational device to a media player, if you can get hold of one of the boards. OpenRelief is planning something rather more ambitious: to use the credit card-sized computer as the brain of an autonomous flying drone – not as a killer robot, for once, but to help save lives instead."

@shane was hoping to talk to your team member after OSHUG talk, as it turns out I couldn't do that as u did a video presentation.

Yeah, we had hoped Karl Lattimer from Newcastle, one of the project co-founders, would attend to go into details. However, something came up at the last minute, and my (admittedly lame) video was the stand-in. I'm sorry for that, and I hope that we can meet in person someday soon.
