particular ISO burned and available in quantity >0 if it's not requested
in advance)

Got some (computer, etc.) hardware, etc. you're looking to give

If you still want to get your hacking/coding/social fix in this month you're all heartily invited to:

– Weekly every Tuesday evening: Sudoroom Hardware and SoftWEAR Hacking Tuesdays:: https://www.meetup.com/sfmakers/ (tonight and every Tuesday evening.)
– Monthly every third Friday: Circuit Launch Build Night https://www.meetup.com/circuit-launch/
(Note it's this Friday)

Both these activities attract a large and interesting group of people; they're worth checking out.

Cheers, -Peter
