Can we get 100?
I adore this community. We have 71 devices signed up currently. For what?
aka. my talk for Code BEAM Berlin.
If you can contribute 1-30 devices to stand somewhere and consume mild amounts of power and bandwidth until I've given my talk I would really appreciate it. Instructions and details are here. Let me know if you have questions.

Nerves Workshop in Berlin
BitCrowd are kindly hosting us for our workshop. Come hack on devices, 13th of October, day before the Code BEAM conference. As we wrap up the event transforms into the Elixir Berlin Meetup as well :)
Frank Hunleth, Jon Carstens, lostkobrakai and Cocoa Xu are all slated to be there helping everyone that wants to learn, experiment and hack on some Nerves.

Project updates
- Updated
- Fix issue causing shared secret authentications to fail until Erlang is able to catch the system time up. (#225)
- Fix various ways that a cellular module with trouble reading a SIM card could cause a crash. This was a low probability event that actually accumulated a lot of crash reports.
- Reduce retry rate for SIM card read errors from 1s to 5s. These are unlikely to recover and retrying every second logged a lot.
- Fix Docker builds for nerves_system_br v1.28.0 and later (see #997)
- Documentation updates and improvements
Community updates
A kiosk!
There is now an example repo for people that want to do a web kiosk using the new Nerves kiosk systems:

Nerves Meetup!
I was wondering when we'd see Ben Murphy resurface after his talk at NervesConf. I was certain he would. And here we go. Nerves Meetup presents Ben Murphy presenting gen_statem! 28th of August for most americans.
Previous talk about the Vintage Rotary Cellphone is up :)
Participating in the community

Supporting the Nerves project
We want to encourage everyone to contribute in whatever way works for them. Here are some ways we currently recommend:
- Write or port a new hardware library and include it in the Elixir Circuits collection.
- Give money to the project via Open Collective.
- Get in touch about taking over maintenance duties for some libraries, we might be able to provide you hardware.
- Apply for an EEF stipend on something Nerves-related and build it. We can help if you have questions about this.
- Send corrections or improvements for documentation wherever it fails to help you.
- Write about Nerves, give talks about Nerves. Make videos about Nerves. It is all good.
Finally, if you have questions about the newsletter or want to suggest something you can simply respond to this email it will go directly to me, Lars, who edits this thing. Let me know what you think.
