The weekly BuildBrighton hack night is happening at The Skiff tonight
(Thursday 6th August) from 7pm. BuildBrighton is a community formed
from physical computing hackers and aims to create an environment for
collaboration, learning and knowledge sharing with an emphasis on
building, rather than talking.
If this sounds like something you've been looking for, come along and see what it's all about.

This week, alongside the usual hacking, we shall also be
** furthering the design of our swarmbot project. We need to finalise
the behaviours, decide which sensors we will need and design the
circuit.
** discussing the BuildBrighton website, what should it contain, how
should it look, who the administrators should be and strategy's for
backups etc.
** Setting up the 'project wall'. This is an area within the
hackerspace where people can display their projects, the status of that
project and whether or not they are are looking for collaborators. The
wall will also allow other members to sign up to become involved in
projects or just to signify their support for the project
BuildBrighton is a new community project to create a space for physical
computing. We meet every Thursday to come together and work on our own
projects, learn from one another and share knowledge and ideas as well
as providing a 'workshop' style space for all members to use 24/7.
Thanks
