    Wow, this sounds great!  I wish I had heard about it earlier.  Would love to see the videos.

  • Oh my! Is this a dream come true? If only I was still living at Boulder!

    I think my talk title "keynote" is just because I didn't get my abstract done in time! I'll be talking about the ardupilot development process, and some of my favourite development projects.
