# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Nov 7, 2009)

• Several software development tools were discussed, including Google SketchUp API (http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/) and PyTurn (http://code.google.com/p/pyturn/), a Python-based tool.

• Significant effort was devoted to debugging and creating a Debian package (.deb) for PyThonOCC (version 0.3.3), an open-source 3D CAD/CAM development framework, with users collaborating on library dependencies and build issues.

• A user shared a humorous article about the Large Hadron Collider being shut down by a hamster (http://lesswrong.com/lw/1eh/hamster_in_tutu_shuts_down_large_hadron_collider/).

• A user proposed "Gnusha" as a mascot concept, combining GNU with Ganesha (the Hindu god of knowledge, education, wisdom, and wealth), sharing a mockup image and explaining the symbolism behind the concept.

• The channel maintained an archive of all previous discussions, with kanzure noting the availability of logs dating back to the channel's beginning (http://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap.log.tar.gz) and a compilation of all URLs shared in the channel (http://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap-urls.txt).

• There was brief discussion about ISO standards related to CAD/CAM, with ISO 286-1:1988 being mentioned as potentially interesting.
