I am very interested in tapping into the collective knowledge LHS has in 
Arduino. The selection of different boards, shields and sensors is a bit 
confusing. The backstory:

I've been aware of the Arduino movement for several years but only recently 
I've ordered a few bits and pieces.  I was finishing up soldering a GPS 
shield at the space the other night and as I got to the stage with the 
headers...It turns out the shield was designed for the Diecimila but I had 
bought the Uno 'diuno board and it turns out the Diecimila is out of 
production.  Argh!

I'd been looking for a quick win. It looks like it will be more 
"interactive".

In ham radio there is the concept of "Elmers" who are more experienced hams 
who are willing to assist the keen but inexperienced.  I was thinking 
perhaps one or more experienced 'Duino hackers who might set up shop at the 
space to consult of an evening with others who are just getting started, or 
who've stalled on their project.
Promise not to call anyone Elmer.
