Here are the pics from last Sunday!

Lakota is working on her locomotion robot project. Walter and I are working on a game based on movement that will use Arduino and accelerometers. We had other guests too!

I put a little thought into the Wednesday meetups and here are some ideas. We’ve got our Sunday meetup at the library and that’s awesome so why not have the Wednesday meetups there for the longer term.

The pub idea is a bit wearing. There are people who don’t want to drink or spend money and it’s an ongoing fight with noise. The Barley Moe activity was constantly bumped by reservations trashing many of the meetups and discouraging people from coming. Further I’m not convinced the exposure of our group in pubs is the best audience.

All along the library has been right there and that’s exactly what it’s for so why not use it?

I was already thinking about this while walking down the street Friday afternoon a week ago. I decided to go to the library to sit with my computer for a bit. I walked into a super fun workshop on Chinese calligraphy and made a whole bunch of new friends.

This was so heartwarming and so much fun I decided I wanted to run a few walk-up tables myself. I’ve got a some meetings upcoming with the library to work on this. Perhaps we could coordinate the walk-ups and our meetups and make it a party.

Our meetups have been mostly unstructured and I love that but if we ran walk-ups for the public (and ourselves) I think it could make it even more fun.
