macOS with Homebrew installed

A Team Charter Template is proposed here to help YaST team members to define the team chapter. Please, feel free to add/remove/modify the points in this team charter if you consider it.

Why a Team Charter

That is the first question everyone of us make to ourselves. But there are some good reasons to have one:

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

	Ollama Light Assistant

	Test the ability for LLMs to call tools (i.e. functions) from within the Ollama
	environment on a Raspberry Pi with speech-to-text. Tested with a Raspberry Pi 5
	(8 GB) and this USB microphone: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3367.

	Connect an LED to GPIO 17 (physical pin 11 on the board) in an active high
	configuration:

	import yui

	# enable logging for debug
	log = yui.YUILog.instance()
	log.setLogFileName("debug.log")
	log.enableDebugLogging( True )

	factory = yui.YUI.widgetFactory()
	dialog = factory.createMainDialog()

	const I = x => x
	const K = x => y => x
	const A = f => x => f (x)
	const T = x => f => f (x)
	const W = f => x => f (x) (x)
	const C = f => y => x => f (x) (y)
	const B = f => g => x => f (g (x))
	const S = f => g => x => f (x) (g (x))
	const S_ = f => g => x => f (g (x)) (x)
	const S2 = f => g => h => x => f (g (x)) (h (x))

	#include <SPI.h>
	#include <avr/sleep.h>
	#include "nRF24L01.h"
	#include "RF24.h"
	#include "printf.h"

	RF24 radio(8, 7);

	int led = 3;
	int temp = A2;
