History

The Development Club is one of the clusters of the Federation of Technology Branches in the Netherlands, FHI, within the branch industrial electronics. It is a network of approximately 45 technology companies working on product development in the field of electronics, mechatronics, embedded software and industrial design. The Development Club is the source of the idea to set up a co-operation where scientific research will be carried out, by and for the member companies. This eventually led to the foundation in 2004 of DevLab, Development Laboratories.

    gollark: Concurrency bugs?
    gollark: This is NOT what I meant by "generics".
    gollark: ... so apparently the "generics" are some kind of weird type level switch?
    gollark: Really? Interesting.
