This week on IoT Happy Hour we are joined by balena Hardware Hackers to talk about the balenaHub latest update: open fleets and projects. We are going to experiment with open fleets using the balenaSound fleet.

Hang out on the Happy Hour and learn about the balenaHub open fleets and as well about the balenaHub projects. We will join open fleets and showcase how to publish one open fleet application on balenaHub. Expect balenaSound live demo and barbacue chats.
