# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Discussions

- Kanzure shared a substantial collection of 88 longevity research papers at designfiles.org, including work on mitochondrial channelopathies in aging, prompting a comparison of academic paper organization tools like Zotero and Mendeley.

- Open manufacturing was a central topic, with discussions referencing a Wired article on the "new revolution" of open manufacturing, Chinese open-source hardware (Shanzhai), and Factor e Farm's torch table being featured in Make Magazine.

- Microfluidics design was explored technically, with Kanzure sharing examples of chip artwork and seeking feedback on improving SVG designs to better match professional microfluidic diagrams.

- Neuroscience resources were exchanged, including research on grid-based spatial representation in the human brain and links to artistic visualizations of neural structures from various sources.

- The community discussed P2P technologies and decentralized governance concepts, including OverSim (an open-source overlay and P2P network simulation framework) and the notion of "P2P government."

- Specialized technical tools were shared, including Surfraw (a command-line web search tool) and resources from molecularmovies.com featuring scientific animations that had been presented at the H+ Summit.

- Browser performance comparisons revealed Opera's superior handling of approximately 400 tabs on 2GB RAM compared to Firefox and Chrome, reflecting the community's information-intensive research habits.
