Finally, we discussed a lot about economic sustainability of the project. How can people make money using GNU Octave without damaging/endangering its freedom? Do you know business models that could fit? How can we organize a pool of developers to offer support for companies wanting to use GNU Octave? | Finally, we discussed a lot about economic sustainability of the project.

== Teaching engineers with GNU Octave == | |||
[https://staff.ti.bfh.ch/sha1/ Andreas Stahel] from Biel, Switzerland gave a talk about teaching GNU Octave for Engineering. All his material (code, lecture notes, etc) is available for download, reuse, remix, reshare. | [https://staff.ti.bfh.ch/sha1/ Andreas Stahel] from Biel, Switzerland gave a talk about teaching GNU Octave for Engineering.

== New sparse matrices for Octave == | |||
[http://librsb.sourceforge.net/ Michele Martone] presented his (future) Octave package for sparse matrix using recursive blocks (quad-tree blockification of matrices). He is very willing to collaborate with any development that could use his code. | [http://librsb.sourceforge.net/ Michele Martone] presented his (future) Octave package for sparse matrix using recursive blocks (quad-tree blockification of matrices).

== Hardware and Octave == | |||
The Octave-Forge [[Instrument control]] package allows to interface Octave with hardware. [http://reslab.elis.ugent.be/drjpi Juan Pablo Carbajal] gave a very short demo on how to do serial communication with the [http://www.dwengo.org Dwengo] board.
