March 2026 CINLUG Meeting -- Intro to RISC-V
Moser Consulting, 6220 Castleway West Drive, Indianapolis, in, USAt this March’s meeting, we are fortunate to have Matt St. Onge[1] speak on a topic we’ve never covered before: RISC-V! Matt will take us on an informal deep dive into the recent evolution of this new Open Source instruction set architecture (ISA). How is RISC-V used today? What binds Linux and RISC-V? How will RISC-V impact the future? Come find out the answers to these questions and more!
Our Wednesday, March 4th meeting starts at 18:30 (6:30 PM) EST.
CINLUG thanks Moser Consulting for hosting our meetings at their facility[2]. (There will be a phone number at the entrance to call to be let into the building.) The meeting will be simultaneously broadcast over this Jitsi Meet URL for those who cannot attend in person. (Though in-person attendance is encouraged. Attendees often head over to the nearby Red Robin restaurant, afterward, for drinks and camaraderie!)
CINLUG meetings are the 1st Wednesday of every month, so please block that night off in your calendar to keep it available. You are also encouraged to sign up for our mailing lists and to follow us on our various social media sites[3] to receive announcements and participate in discussions.
