[TriEmbed] Fwd: Re: Arduino - open HW Raleigh startup -Feedback Request

[Glen Smith]

I should probably know this, and I certainly should have looked it up
rather than just remaining ignorant, but for the record, in your
KickStarter, be sure to define 6LoWPAN. I can trade TLA's with the best of
them but I never got to* IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area
Networks* until this note.
