Invite to CovLUG + new group formation (hack-space?)

[Keith White]

You are invited to the next CovLUG tech meeting, 7th Feb., where there
are some exciting developments going on to which you may want to
contribute and have some influence and involvement:

The meeting will most likely begin the formation of either a CovLUG
subgroup or spin-off group (a hack-space group possibly?), the nature of
which may be determined by meeting discussion, on-line and by initial
interested parties. That group's interests may be some combination of
open source hardware, micro computers, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and similar
devices, micro computer programming, electronics and may include some
involvement with education at various levels, schools, academia, local
community etc.

It's up to you. If you would like to have your say and and have some
influence on what happens and what gets formed then come along to the
meeting.

That has some relationship to the main presentation for the evening entitled
*Micro machines and computing in schools*
being given by Dr.Steve Matthews.

The abstract for the talk is a bit long to include here but you can read
it on the CovLUG website at
http://www.covlug.org.uk/index.php?n=Members.Meetings
where you can also find meeting time and location details on the home
page http://www.covlug.org.uk/.

Thanks for this Keith,

I'm double booked on the 7th, but I hope you'll keep us all in touch with what's going on and I'm sure there will be opportunities for some joint hackery :) Offline, if you want to get in touch I can put the Cov organisers in touch with some of the other UK hacker / maker-spaces.

Cheers,

Sarah

Very sorry to miss it, but I have a lot to get done, and not enough
time :-(
