Subject: [dc401-l] September Meeting - Making Prototype PCBs with a
 Milling Machine

Hey Everyone:

Here's a reminder about tonight's meeting. Don't forget to come on down 
and check out how we mill PCBs on the milling machine.

Not that I need to bribe you all to come to a meeting, but there will be 
PIE! Morgan Calderini, AS220's Print Shop manager is selling homemade 
pies to help her raise the money to finish getting her balloon pilot's 
license so she can freely fly the balloon[1] that she hand made in 2007. 
I've ordered two pies from her which she'll be delivering to the meeting.

Come for the pie, stay for PCB milling.
Mmmmmm.... pie....

FYI,

If anyone wants to learn Arduino, Lutz Hamel is teaching a 4 week class 
starting next week at AS220. Lutz is a great instructor, I highly recommend.

We still have a couple of slots open in the popular "Introduction to
Arduino" class that starts next monday. The class runs for four weeks and
gives you a thorough introduction to the open source Arduino
microcontroller platform for artists and designers. Want to incorporate
sensors, motors, leds into your work? Want to build a drawbot? This is a
great introduction taught by Lutz Hamel (who also teaches computer science
at URI).

Hey Everyone:

This week/weekend is the RI Maker Faire.
There are workshops every evening this week at Slater Mill in Pawtucket 
and there's going to be a tent setup at Water Place Park from 2-10pm on 
Saturday.

We can have a table if we want it.

Would some folks like to help me represent?

I'd love to come help out, but I'm not sure about my schedule this weekend.

Would it help of you had a "tent" of the shade variety.  I want to say
it is 10x10.  It is available for you all to use if you wish.

Larry:

Might take you up on that tent offer, if it's of the free standing 
variety and if Brian says it's cool to have such things at the Fair.

Everyone:

Does anyone have anything they'd like to exhibit?
I could haul out Shmoo/FooSimon, but it didn't fair so well at FooFest 
and it will take an evening or two to fix it up.

Agent5:
Care to bring out the chair bot? I think that would be a big hit.

There's one issue with tents--there has to be a certain amount of  
spacing between them. So one tent shouldn't be a problem.

And one more thing about tents--the max size is 10x10 (unless you get  
a permit). So that should be OK.

If you find yourself sitting around the house bored tomorrow with 
nothing to do, you should come down to Maker Faire RI. It?s happening 
from 2pm-10pm in Sovereign Plaza in the financial district of downtown 
Providence. There will be about 50 exhibitors showing off all their 
Makery goodness.

Here?s a map: http://bit.ly/MKFRImap

Hey Everyone:

Morgan is back from her vacation, in case anyone wants to order some  
pies from her.
If you liked the pie at the last meeting, then support Morgan in her  
effort to finish her Balloon pilot's license and order a delicious pie.

Subject: [dc401-l] October Meeting: Andy Pavlo on Graffiti Networks
Message-ID: <4AC339FC.7030003@dc401.org>


We've got a real treat for the October Meeting. Andy Pavlo, a CS 
graduate student at Brown will come by to talk about his research 
project called Graffiti Networks, which apparently landed him and his 
collaborators into a little hot water last spring. Should be a very 
interesting talk with a good 'lessons learned' section.

     "In response to the lack of user anonymity and long-term data 
persistence in existing P2P systems, we developed the Graffiti Network 
distributed file sharing protocol that uses multiple third-party storage 
sites as a data replication and transfer medium between clients. Our 
approach is to use publically available web sites to store multiple 
copies of shared content. We use the term graffiti for our work since we 
are storing data in a way that non-network participants may regard as 
unsightly or unwanted vandalism."

Date/Time:Monday, 12 Oct 2009 - 1730-1900
Location: AS220, 115 Empire St, Providence. Directions

Note the special night! AS220 once again has Action Speaks! on Wednesday 
nights this month, so we got bumped to the second Monday.

See you all there!
