[Haifux] [HAIFUX LECTURE] The Resource-as-a-Service (RaaS) Cloud -- Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda

[Steve G.]

Could not attend, for geographical reasons - by chance, is the lecture
repeated anywhere else in the coming few weeks?

Also, was there going to be a lecture about open source hardware? I vaguely
recall something like that on previous announcement.

Thanks,

Z.
