Talking to Jason Kridner About the new Arduino Tre
With information about the new Arduino Tre board scare on the ground, I managed to track down Jason Kridner from the BeagleBoard Foundation to talk about the new board.

As Maker Faire Rome kicked off earlier today Arduino announced two new boards: the Galileo in collaboration with Intel, and the Tre in collaboration with Texas Instruments and the BeagleBoard Foundation.
Here are some of the best features of this groundbreaking collaboration between Intel and Arduino.
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said that Intel recognized the value of the Arduino platform and the maker community and decided to forge partnerships that will be valuable to both makers and the future of Intel.
Look, we’ve got the new Arduino Galileo up and blinking!
Just before the launch of Maker Faire Rome, the Arduino team made a big splash by announcing two new Linux boards, each in collaboration with a different semiconductor company: Intel and Texas Instruments.
Make Faire Rome, Italy’s first Maker Faire, kicks off today. It’s a four-day celebration of making that’s attracted well over 200 makers from Italy and across Europe. The event is co-produced by Asset-Camera and Tecnopolo in collaboration with Arduino. Arduino’s Massimo Banzi and journalist Riccardo Luna are helping to curate the event.
Science writer Lorenzo Manella is heading up communications. He’s gotten to know the makers who will be attending the event quite well. “I’ve sorted through 200 or more maker projects to dig out their very essence,” he says. “I have tasted their bits and now will know their atoms.” On the eve of the fair I got Lorenzo to pause and answer a few questions about the big event.
