.. admonition:: Did you know?

   BeagleBoard.org has been accepted to be a mentoring organization in the 
   Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for twelve previous years!

.. admonition:: BeagleBoard.org background
   :class: admonition-clock-back

   BeagleBoard.org is a volunteer organization that seeks to advance the state of
   `open-source software <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software>`_ on `open-source
   hardware <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware>`_ platforms capable of
   running high-level languages and operating systems (like Linux and Zephyr) in embedded
   environments. Born from taking mobile phone processors and putting them on low-cost boards to build affordable
   desktop computers, BeagleBoard.org has evolved to focus on the needs of the "maker" community with greater focus
   on the I/O needed for controlling motors and reading sensors to build things like robots, 3d printers, flying
   drones, in-car computer systems and much more.  BeagleBoard has `inspired creation of the Raspberry Pi <https://web.archive.org/web/20120302232755/www.linuxuser.co.uk/features/raspberry-pi-interview-eban-upton-reveals-all>`_, built over 6 million computers and made PocketBeagle available world-wide for about $25, but is more than a throw-away computer. It is an instance
   of true open hardware, exposing users to the broader world of electronics, demystifying computers and fostering an environment
   of clones that have changed the industry for good.
