I'm a grad student in CS at the U of M. I saw you guys on HN but
wasn't able to attend the first meeting. Lately I've been working on
some Python scripts that let you use EC2 as a workstation (starts up
an instance when you log on, mounts your local home directory on the
new instance), and I've been working on (yet another) password manager
app for Android. I probably won't ever release either of these.
As far as meetings go: Common Roots is great, but it can be hard to
get a reservation for their meeting room (it is often booked a month
or two in advance).
