Hi Claude,

Shang-Lin and I are involved in the real-time data acquisition and
event detection pipeline for the Seismo Lab. If we were to give a
preso, it probably would take an hour; we might be able to vary +/- 15
min, but I doubt we could give a "lightning" talk. So, it should
probably be a separate night from the EC2 talk.

Apparently SlimDevices has renamed what a Squeezebox Classic is, so I
probably have the same thing as you (a v3 Squeezebox). I'm running
slimserver 6.5.0-1 still.

I'd be happy to bring my Squeezebox in for a demo, but I wouldn't want
to do the talking. "It plays music off the net, and has some plugins.
Yay." I honestly haven't done much hacking with it.

-Rae.
