Hackerspace Weekly Digest: Week of April 17, 2018

[Daniel Crews]

Hey Hackers! 

This week we have our Monthly Demo Night at 7 PM in the West Shop (6th Street Location). Currently we have a presentations on the "D Programming language and ASN.1 library" and " Gḷ̫̔͘ì̘tch͈́ T̳̊͒͢ext Gene̦̲͂͝r̜͓̔͞a̧͑tio͍͌n and Unicode " scheduled.  If anyone else wants to demo something please sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z-UJ7cw7aybOafCrzJn52sLGE-21Mpr8T9u8bZNJJHM/edit#gid=1719295911

This will be my first time running demo night, so please bear with me as I refine the procedures. But I plan to keep people as tightly to their assigned time frame as possible so that we can get all the demos done in a reasonable fashion and further discussion can happen during the open house afterwards.

Also, please see my email about Area Champions and let us know if you think you could be one!
