Trivia

From The Tegola project

In this page we gather some curiosity and figures about the project.

The name

Mountains

The highest mast of our testbed is situated on the shoulder of Beinn Sgritheall at an altitude of 308m above sea level. It takes us more than an hour to reach it, very often in severe weather conditions. This is a good motivation to write reliable code.
