[Noisebridge-discuss] open frameworks?

[Rachel McConnell]

OK, that fits with what I saw on the site. But I don't know anything 
about Open Frameworks other than that one video, and I've only recently 
started with Processing so I can't really compare them.  Scott, have you 
done anything with Open Frameworks?

Daniela, if you do a comparison please share it, it'd be very 
interesting information.  Have you found anything useful on Google? 
None of those words, processing, open, frameworks, are very tightly 
focussed, unfortunately, so it might be hard to find a comparison even 
if one exists.
