Mozilla OpenXLab Berlin
Details
Join us for the first OpenXLab meetup at Mozilla Berlin about Open Hardware, the Internet of Things and Open Tech startups. We have exciting speakers including Rosana Ardila from Mozilla (Reps Manager), Lorenzo Pirritano, Prashanth Makaram (from Fabulyzer) and Larisa Kryuchkova (UVIZR). You are invited to a reception with beverages and snacks after the presentations.
The idea behind OpenXLab is to build future labs where people from various backgrounds can experiment, create new things and develop open hardware for the Internet of things.

• Chirantan (Senic.com)
Chirantan is a Computer Scientist. He has developed more than 20 commercially used software products and has been involved in the Ruby community from the beginning.
• Christian Schmidts
Christian is a computational or generative designer with a background in architecture. That means he doesn't design directly the final outcome rather a computational process from which theoretically infinitely many variations can emerge. In combination with novel fabrication techniques (CNC) it is possible to achieve an automated production, but with the ability to differentiate each artifact from those that are fabricated before and after. In one sentence: He aims to implement uniqueness (like we know it from nature) into the design and production process.
