Show and Tell THIS Wednesday -- amazing line-up!
Sarah Mount
sessions is happening THIS Wednesday, starting at 7.30 at Friction
Arts. We've already got a great line-up of speakers. Dominic from
Nottinghack will be joining us (all the way from the EAST Midlands!),
Sandra and Lee will be telling us what they get up to when we're not
around, James Cattell will be talking about mashups for local
government data AND we'll be getting a bit to eat afterwards.
We want these sessions to be relaxed and informal and to encourage
members on the mailing list who maybe haven’t been to a fizzPOP event
before to come along and get involved. These monthly sessions will be
a little different to the usual meeting, to encourage new members.
Firstly, we’ll start at 7.30 rather than 6 as several people can’t get
out of work that early. Also, we’ll try to keep these sessions free to
attend. We do have rent and other costs to cover, so we can only keep
up free meetings if the other sessions are well enough attended to
cover costs. So, we’re hoping to keep these show and tells free, but
we won’t necessarily be able to guarantee that forever. Lastly, when
presentations are over, we’ll decamp to a local pub or restaurant and
finish the evening there.
If you want to give a show and tell, please sign up on the wiki here
and if you need anything other than a laptop and a projector please
let us know and we’ll sort that out for you.
Where:
The Edge, 79-81 Cheapside, Deritend, Birmingham, B12 0QH. Look for the
red signs on the gate, and if you get really lost give the fizzPHONE
(07754 634993) a call on the night of the hack session.
When:
Wednesday 26th October 7.30pm-10pm. Please add your name to the wiki
if you would like to give a show and tell. Regulars should note that
we’re starting a little later than usual, to give folks a chance to
get in from work.
What:
Come and find out what other makers have been working on, or give a
short talk about your own project and have a drink or meal with us
afterwards. Check out the wiki page for the current list of talks.
Other details:
Wifi Internet is available, ask any fizzPOP regular for the key.
We look forward to seeing you!
