RISC-V Ottawa Inaugural meeting
Welcome to the official launch of RISC-V Ottawa!
If you are looking for a highly collaborative, zero-pressure space to experiment, build, and learn the full computing stack, from physical silicon logic up to systems software, you are in the right place. We are a local community of engineers, researchers, and students in Canada’s capital region focused on learning, building, and contributing together across the full RISC-V stack.
This inaugural meeting is where it all begins, and your voice will directly decide what projects, study groups, and hardware tracks we launch first.
🎁 Exclusive Launch Giveaway: Win a Free Development Board!
To celebrate our very first meeting and get hardware directly into the hands of our community, we are hosting a live development board giveaway during the event!
Every person who registers here on Luma and attends the inaugural meeting in person will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a brand-new development board to jumpstart their open-source hardware journey.
Winner will be drawn live at the end of the meeting.
