Well, I haven't actually been to a MI RepRap meeting or met any of you except Tim Schmidt (he's on the board of a group I'm involved in).

However, I've lugged my Prusa around to a few maker events and enjoyed telling people about RepRap, how it works, and why it's cool.  I might be interested in presenting on the subject, or at least helping someone else present.

I've also never been to Penguicon, so I'm not sure about the vibe of the conference.  But if demoing can be part of the presentation, or if the presentation can be more informal, that makes the job a lot easier.

Anybody else thinking about doing this?  Any of you live anywhere near Lansing?

Randy

I wouldn't worry about the formality of the presentation. There will probably be a bunch of really interested people regardless. It seems like the last time 3d printing was presented, there were a lot of questions too.

Penguicon is one of my favorites.  I'm already planning on going, and I'd help with a presentation.

I'm in Muskegon.

Last time I went, there was a presentation on bedroom toys to spice up a
relationship. There will be not a small number of people in leather
corsets, and maybe some leashes. So yeah, it's not very formal, and it's
more important that your presentation is cool than academic. The
informality and lack of focus is a defining feature of the conference,
for better or worse.
