As Ebihara-san announced, the Japan NetBSD Users' Group held
a NetBSD booth at the Open Source Conference 2014 Shimane on August 23:
http://www.ospn.jp/osc2014-shimane/

OSC Shimane is smaller conference (11 booths and 15 seminars)
than the previous OSC Kansai@Kyoto, but
we exhibited NetBSD machines on our booth:

- Raspberry Pi with LCD display (handmade by jun@) via HDMI
- HP 9000/425e (including new arcofi(4) audio driver demo)
- Sony NWS-5000 (and NetBSD/i386 as a serial console)
- Sharp NetWalker
- XM6i (X680x0 emulator) running NetBSD/x68k and Human68k on Windows
- Sun Java Station (didn't boot due to server setting problem though)
etc.

I'd like to report it with pictures again.

 Some visitors said "NetBSD has the most chaos booth"


Raspberry Pi running the new 2014-08-23-netbsd-raspi.img image:

 The typical problem of the Raspberry Pi on the booth is
 it's "too small" to appeal.  Many visitors asked about
 Ebihara-san's LCD (connected to the RPi via HDMI) first,
 then we explained it was drived by the RPi running NetBSD
 and Twitter client.

 Ebihara-san's LCD backpanel and PCB:
  https://twitter.com/tsutsuii/status/503061764267724800/photo/1

 The typical our explanation is:
 "You can also use your >40" LCD TV in your living room
  for your RPi to demonstrate your Twitter timeline by mikutter."

In this time Sony's new thin HDMI cable is much useful at the booth:

 Downsizing is also important for Ebihara-san to participate
 all OSC in Japan..

Other RPi cases (not running due to space):

 It's better to show RPi silk symbolmark on the PCB without cover?


HP9000/425e, contributed by Miod Vallat (OpenBSD/hp300 maintainer):
 https://twitter.com/tsutsuii/status/502991497038295041/photo/1 

 This HP425e was also demonstrated at OSunC 2014 Kagawa:
  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-advocacy/2014/04/20/msg000643.html

 but in this time it also demonstrated tunes as BGM with
 new arcofi(4) audio driver ported OpenBSD/hp300:

 https://twitter.com/tsutsuii/status/503007824624893952/photo/1

  This HP9000/425e also had 32GB SSD (via STAT-IDE and IDE-SCSI adaptors).

Starting mlterm-fb + mikutter + mikutterm, as LUNA-II at OSC Kyoto:

 The framebuffer on HP425e supported 256 colors, but currently
 there is no info how we can handle color palette using on-board
 Bt458 RAMDAC chip so demonstrated with "--colors=false" option.

 The conversion of color graphics (twitter icons and attached pic)
 into monochrome is handled by img2sixel utility in libsixel package:
  https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel
  https://twitter.com/tsutsuii/status/503032792297390080/photo/1

 This libsixel's mono conversion have been improved and
 updated after this OSC Shimane per my reports:
  https://twitter.com/kefir_/status/503084347226734592
  
https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel/commit/767480e02cd2a8f7c03aa73d4b2694a67507948e

 This is yet another good example of "event driven developments" :-)

HP425e playing tunes (sorry for bad video audio settings):

 This "mikutter's drum'n bass" tune is composed by @polamjag
  https://soundcloud.com/polamjag/mikutter-drumnbass
 and it was converted to 8kHz mono u-law format, as 90's SPARC machines.

"Powered by HP"

 This "Powered by HP" plate was also contributed by HP Japan guys
 who were impressed by Ebihara-san's hpcarm machines (Jornada etc)
 at the past OSC booth many years ago.

 The support of Apollo Domain keyboard is still in my TODO list..
 (Domain mouse needs more tweaks in current driver)


Sharp Netwalker (by Mochida-san) running NetBSD/evbarm:

 https://twitter.com/tsutsuii/status/503014876663382016/photo/1

 It has R4400 CPU and currently framebuffer in this NWS-5000 model
 is not supported so serial console is connected to NetBSD/i386 laptop.

 Three X68030 emulators were running on the Core i7 ThinkPad
 and they were still faster then the real X68030 (MC68030 25MHz).

 Unfortunately it had a trouble to netboot, but the Javastation
 worked at OSC 2013 shimane:

Ebihara-san also held a NetBSD seminar and advocated NetBSD :-)

The next OSC is Open Source Conference 2014 Hiroshima on September 20
http://www.ospn.jp/osc2014-hiroshima/
Probably several (real) X680x0 machines will be demonstrated.

Have fun,
