O evento já foi há mais de um mês. Que impacto teve em Portugal?
Penso que pouco, infelizmente, pois mais nada se tem ouvido sobre o assunto desde então.

Deixo-vos aqui a página da Press Coverage difundida pela organização.

There is a lot of time now since I last visited the Mini-ITX website. Then the “projects” area only had Mini-ITX EPIA based projects running Microsoft Windows due to lack of good (or even bare) support to it under Linux. Today I saw several projects like Alan Kilian’s “K’nex-ITX” Linux Wireless Server but Marco Venezia’s “Encyclomedia” was the most incredible as you can see by the picture below.

“A room without books”, said Marcus Tullius Cicero, “is like a body without a soul”.

“And a living room without a PC”, said twenty-first-century Cicero namesake Marco Venezia (probably), “is a potential home cinema lacking DivX support”.

To solve both problems, Marco fabricated the Encyclomedia: a Mini-ITX-based DVD/DivX player squeezed into a set of imitation textbooks. The books were originally polystyrene but have been hollowed out to fit an EPIA M10000 with DVD player and 40GB hard disk. The result is a living room PC that offers modern entertainment without sacrificing traditional style, and perhaps more importantly, doesn’t make Marco’s mum too angry…

And, since you are already there, see what the folks are doing.
