# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Oct 28, 2011)

The log contained minimal substantive discussion, but these points were noteworthy:

* A user questioned the characterization of Genomera as a "grassroots organization" in a PLOS blog post, suggesting disagreement about how certain biohacking or citizen science initiatives are being represented in scientific media.

* Upverter's open JSON format for electronic design was shared (http://upverter.com/resources/open-json-format/), along with their schematic file converter on GitHub (https://github.com/upverter/schematic-file-converter), representing tools for open hardware development.

* The log primarily consisted of connection notifications rather than substantive discussion, suggesting this may have been a relatively quiet day for the transhumanist community on this channel.
