This looks like it could potentially be good.  Anyone have a suitable test 
user they can try it out on?

Thanks for the link DL Neil.

This is a classic. One of the best online courses in CS. You get to
learn to build a computer system, including implementing logic gates,
ALU, an assembler, a compiler, a vm translator, system libraries and
finally write a game on top of all this (I wrote a 2048 clone
<https://g.ypei.me/nand2tetris.git/tree/K?h=public>). It also has a
nice website <https://www.nand2tetris.org/>.

Best,
Yuchen

December Hack Meeting will be at http://b.coker.com.au. Starting 1PM Melbourne 
time that?s 02:00 UTC.

Find some interesting FOSS stuff to work on, doesn?t have to be coding, can be 
editing documentation, filing bug reports, or improving Wikipedia. Get 
whatever snacks you need, then join in. The aim is we all work on interesting 
stuff and chat while doing it. Maybe we get some serious work done, maybe we 
make lots of jokes, who knows.
