Day 3 at #OSSummit North America = absolutely packed. 🔥
We kicked off the morning with Linus Torvalds on the keynote stage, and Minneapolis kept the energy rolling all day long - engaged sessions, nonstop conversations, and enough coffee consumed to power the entire open source ecosystem. ☕🐧
We had an incredible time this week in Minneapolis and hope you did too. Until next time, open source friends. 💙
I had a chance to play with the 3DR N1 at the #PX4DevSummit thanks to @alexis_guijarro don’t let the size deceive you it’s boosting some serious performance
