A record of my 10 minutes presentation of the uHbench, the open hardware public bench, during Libre Graphics Meeting at Medialab Prado.
I’m talking about inspiration, creation, publication and use cases.
The slides are here if you want to look at them.

Tavmjong Bah talked about the coming features in 0.49. And he told me, in one to one conversation, that it could be released in 3 months.
After that, Xavi Manzanaresdid presented an “Imago sonification” performance where he uses inkscape as a tool to create live sounds. The drawing are interpreted by a Pure Data patch and turned into sound. Really interesting experiment regarding live music together with “veejaying”.
The remaining pack was invited by Basurama for an improvised trash potluck after party. It was again, an interesting experience having to cross over half of Madrid to find their place. But it was worth it.

Not much tweets or picture to share the end of this long friday. I guess everyone was tired. The performance that closed Medialab Prado was called “Piksels and lines orchestra“. They run modified versions of graphic software that produce music when you manipulate them. It seemed to me this is close to live coding, although, it uses the graphic designers palette instead of the programmer’s palette.
After that, everyone rushed to a disco bar nearby called “Mama was a groupie” (if I translate it right), where the Gimp community was pouring free beer to everyone. I think it’s the first time I get offered a beer by an open source software. Interesting concept. Well, this kicked the “future party” up. People danced until the end of the night.
This is also the reason why this post is published with a bit of delay. And I’m already late for the conferences of the last day.

Second presentation, was my proposition “Design with Git“.
The journey ended with the talk “Internet and parasites”. Deep and tough stuff to close the day.

In preparation of the Libre Graphics Meeting (#LGM13), I was invited by the Medialab Prado to host an open source hardware public bench (uHbench) workshop. El colectivo Zuloark from Madrid came with tools and lots of hands to build ~40 benches, tables and other interesting lounge chairs. Thanks to the OSP crew for diving in also.
