Nerves community hack session
We bring issues or ideas. You bring some Elixir skills and curiosity. Good moment to talk about projects, do a bit of show and tell. This session might get more specific if we decide on a direction but right now the intent is to rub elbows, blink LEDs and hack together on stuff around Nerves.

Upcycling smartphones with Nerves
In this groundbreaking workshop we will have REDACTED smartphones for every participant. You will get an Android phone running Nerves and the session is focused on a shared effort to hack new functionality into the firmware project. And learn some stuff along the way. Run by Marc Lainez, who presented on the Nerves Car at Goatmire last year, you'll be in good hands as you explore what we can do with this device. Most IoT devices are lower end hardware with limited peripherals and capabilities. Smartphones are the exact opposite. They contain every capability under the sun and a battery at that. This workshop will be something quite special and in the end you'll have custom device that lets you develop on it in Elixir that we all duly saved from the landfill. (note: don't bring old phones to convert, developing a new Nerves system for a smartphone takes more time) Requirements: Install an Elixir working environment and the Nerves tooling. Instructions coming.
