# Summary of IRC Log from #hplusroadmap (October 8, 2011)

The log contained minimal substantive discussion, but these points emerged:

* Kanzure shared a link to the DIYbio code of ethics (http://arcollab.org/2011/09/08/diybio-code-of-ethics/), expressing frustration about its development process being limited to in-person participants rather than including the broader community.

* A discussion about SKDB (a project related to open hardware/design) revealed that Kanzure was working on CAD software development as an underlying infrastructure issue, with code available at http://diyhpl.us/cgit/lolcad.

* Kanzure mentioned that OpenCascade is the only open source solid modeling kernel but described it as "awful," suggesting limitations in open source CAD tools.

* A brief discussion about sensory augmentation through magnetic implants occurred, with Kanzure sharing links to his extensive collection of research papers on topics including longevity, microfluidics, neuroscience, biotechnology, stem cells, and nanotechnology.

* References were made to iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine competition) and biobricks (standardized DNA components), with links shared to biobricks.org and partsregistry.org for information about these synthetic biology resources.
