The title is clear enough! I was on the VI Encuentro Centroamericano of Software Libre and gave a presentation about what is Beagleboard.org and showing some small demos of the BeagleBone Black. Important refereces about Central America and Open Hardware/Single Board Computers & Microcontrollers All of this data is according to what people said on Panama. Arduino it's used in 6 countries of Central America as part of their computer science studies or electrical engineer Raspberry Pi is also use on the 7 countries of Central America Just 2 countries of Central America have listen about the BeagleBone Black. (Costa Rica & Honduras) Just 1 country of Central America has work with a BeagleBone Black. (Honduras) What was my talk about? Basically my talk was about, what is the Beagleboard.org community and the Beaglebone Black. I did a presentation on HTML explaining the BeagleBoard.org history and goals.
