Week 682 - Kombucha, MakeFest

[jackie pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Liverpool MakeFest

Liverpool MakeFest is on Saturday 6th July this year. If you have stuff that you’d like to display and/or you can help out then please add details to the Git issue here.

If you just want to visit, you can get a free ticket here.

As usual we’ll be having an after party on Saturday evening, and a maker brunch on Sunday, here at DoES Liverpool. You can get your tickets via EventBrite:

• Liverpool MakeFest After Party
• Liverpool MakeFest Maker Brunch

Cool Money

John’s post on finances has led to an interesting discussion in our Google Group. Take a look here (and here) to get an idea of people are thinking, and to add your views.

Jackie Pease (@jackie...@mastodon.me.uk) Attached: 3 images Plaiting with the office supplies again - laser cut polypropylene strips and many paper fasteners. The polypropylene is left over from the @DoESLi...@does.social visor project during COVID lockdown - it's good for experimenting as it doesn't deteriorate like cardboard when you have to undo and redo stuff (definitely concerned about its long term environmental effects though). #WeekNotes mastodon.me.uk
