1) Hold myself accountable
2) Apply guilt.
Also sent this to an amateur radio operator:
So, along with Amateurs visiting Makerspaces (and vice versa), I just
realized that if Amateur Radio folks wanted Arduino or Raspberry Pi
presentations they could reach out to the Makerspaces for
presentations.
I truly believe that this work is to be done at ground level with air
support by ARRL. ARRL seems to be doing/willing to expand it's side.
IT IS US that is lacking. Both sides. It's slowly happening, but we
can help move this along by each supporting each other with each
giving presentations to the other in the areas of your expertise.
I can help be that conduit as I am involved in both worlds.

It was ok.
All amateurs. NO makerspacers.
My personal take is the ARRL is willing to do what they are supposed
to do at their level, but the amateurs and makers are where the work
gets done.
Amateurs MUST visit the Makerspaces.
Radio enabled or curious Makers must visit the Radio Clubs.
Each must attend each others' events.
The ARRL's role is to support it's membership; NOT DO EVERYTHING for them.
TRUST ME, I am guilty too. I should be doing RF things at my Makerspace(Hive76).
Everyone has the same time constraints, but I believe less YouTube and
more YouDo in real life, at any location, is still where/when the
magic happens. <-I'm tweeting this.
Thanks for asking!
