Speaker: Camden Bruce
From the far-flung lands of Hawkes Bay, PINE64 community manager Camden Bruce will visit to speak to us about Linux working on phones…and how much easier it has become with both libhybris and mainline Linux. He’ll demonstrate using Linux on a PinePhone Pro and a Pixel 3A, including a breakdown of the history and hard work that got the community this far. If we’re lucky, we might get a quick recap of his attendance at FOSDEM 2026.
Topic 2/2: A Passage Lamp With Home Assistant
Speaker: Stephen Worthington
Stephen will apply Home Assistant to put together a small lamp, a smart socket, PIR detectors, and a luminance sensor to provide an automated lamp that comes on as one walks by.
