"We invite all hackers, designers and forest machine enthusiasts to hack the harvester. We will take you to a visit to the Ponsse’s manufacturing factory, show harvesters in action and provide you with different APIs and data sets from the forest machines and the maintenance process. Now, Ponsse wants to build a community of tech startups and talented developers with whom co-operation can be continued."

OP here: The "Thriving black market of John Deere tractor hacking" thread reminded me of something a (woodsman) relative mentioned. He said that the new tree harvesting machines were all computers and fiber optics (networks I suppose). Since I'm a "the computer nerd" in my family, he wondered if fixing that sort of thing was in my wheelhouse.
