going insane

I have been racking my brain over the Element14 Easter egg badge. The Title of the badge is gnu overhead so I'm thinking it's got to be something with some type of gnu(free software) cloud based setup and have been searching and searching. unfortunately the only thing that continues to come up is the essentials mcu ii module and im not getting anywhere with that. really wondering what Element14 considers an Easter egg so I would have some type of clue as to what I am looking for.

    I felt a little unsure if I should be giving clues, but this thread now pretty much just gives you the answer. It was only after finding it the hard way that I discovered you could just Google the badge…

    I see a few people have found it now. It took me a while. It's certainly not my place to give you any big clues, but here are a few tiny hints. The GNU is important but it isn't the same GNU you're thinking…

    yep, still driving me insane. just not figuring out what gnu is suppose to mean here and im sure that it would give it away where the easter egg is, but man it is aggravating. I've searched and searched…

    Unless you are already familiar with the books, this one can be particularly challenging, it was for me.  Luckily this thready already has enough clues to get to the bottom of this.  This one is particularly important:  "The GNU is important but it isn't the same GNU you're thinking of."

     

    I like this Easter Egg and it has introduced me to something that I would probably never have known about otherwise.

     

    Thanks for the sanity check, it took me about 4 hours total of research to get this one and I have not read the books yet.
