# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (October 23, 2011)

* Eric Drexler, pioneer of nanotechnology, moved to Oxford University, which was noted as significant because it places him in proximity to Anders Sandberg, Nick Bostrom, and other fellows at what is likely the Future of Humanity Institute.

* A link to a Singularity Hub article covering the Singularity Summit 2011 was shared (http://singularityhub.com/2011/10/10/singularity-summit-2011-a-state-of-the-future/), which presumably contained updates on transhumanist and AI developments from the conference.

* A discussion about LEGO patents was initiated with a link to a Boing Boing article about expired LEGO patents (http://boingboing.net/2011/10/21/expired-patent-of-the-day-lego.html), potentially relevant to open-source hardware discussions.

* The log contained minimal substantive discussion, with most entries being connection notifications rather than content-rich exchanges about transhumanist topics.
