Two important announcements!

[Brian Munroe]

I don't usually invoke the announcements list, but when I do I usually make my entrance by beating an internet meme to death.

Ok, so I ran out of funny on that one, but I do seriously have some important announcements to make!  Pleas read on!

Las Vegas Mini-Maker Faire 2013

Did you know that we are holding a Mini Maker Faire here in Las Vegas this upcoming February?  Well, we are...and of course we are looking for Makers.  So if you have a cool project you want to show off, this is definitely the place to do it!

In addition to makers, we are looking for corporate sponsors, vendors, and volunteers who want to help out with the planning and operations of the event.

Sound interesting?

Please plan to attend the upcoming kick off meeting next Monday, October 29th @ 7pm.  Please see the meetup.com link below for more information and to RSVP:

Help with facilitating the Introduction to Arduino class

Did you know that we have been offering classes?  Starting a few months ago, we began teaching classes out of /usr/lib and space graciously provided by Pololu Electronics.  They are a bunch of great folks over there, you should buy all your stuff from them!

Anyway, we are running a little short on facilitators for tomorrow (Tuesday) night's class and we need someone willing to help some Arduino newbies learn about this wonderful platform.  You don't even need to have that much experience with the Arduino.  The instructor (Charley) will teach you everything you need to know before the class starts.
