Hi, Tuesday has rolled around again so we have our open evening today. I'll be in - aiming for about 19:00. I'll probably be poking at slides for work so distractions from that would be very welcome. For anyone new (or forgetful) details of where we are and how to get there are on the website: https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings https://www.57north.org.uk/contact Hopefully see some of you this evening. Robert ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam rmcw(a)allmail.net argh.technology I go the extra mile. Usually because I missed the turning I was supposed to take.

Saturday: Hacking, socialising, lightning talks on Saturday afternoon. Depending on how Debian we’re feeling, I might operate a key signing party. Get your GPG/PGP key ready. Saturday Afternoon (4ish?): We close computers and light the BBQ to begin the food ceremonies. Bring some good stuff to cook, be prepared to help. Sunday: Cleanup, fix some bugs, head home and leave the place better than we found it. For the lightning talks: you are limited to 5 minutes, Q&A is allowed and all topics are welcome, ranging from “My favourite compiler flag” to “Why bicycle bottom brackets are brilliant”. To commemorate Debian Day, we have been allocated the callsign GB0DEB, and will be operating radios all weekend under that callsign! Feel free to have a try. There will be data and voice stations running over the course of the weekend and tuition/advice/guidance available.

Open Night, March 4th 2025

by 57North Announcements

Fit like, Happy UNESCO World Engineering Day to those who celebrate! It's Tuesday, so we will have our weekly open night! I If you've not heard of us, 57North get up to a range of activities on Tuesday nights in our shared workspace, including (but not limited to) social contact, programming, manufacturing weird things, consuming sugary treats and the odd can of alcoholic beverage. We're located at: Suite H Kettock Lodge Innovation Park Campus Two Bridge of Don Aberdeen AB22 8GU Instructions for getting in are here: https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings .Hit the buzzer (Suite H) and someone shall come and rescue you from downstairs after a brief wait. There's plenty of parking, but if you don't have transport, then get in touch either here or IRC and someone may be able to help you out! The number 1 bus comes nearby too. If you're new, I'd suggest you bring a laptop, and perhaps a project you want to work on. If you're not new, shoot a reply to the list and tell us what you'll be up to, and maybe consider bringing a friend. Please mention a time if you'll be in before me! We like our space being accessible for all. When visiting, please ensure you tidy up after yourself, clean any dishes, cups, cutlery and store them away. There are vacuum cleaners too, for cleaning the floor. If you have any questions, please ask one of the regular visitors or members for advice. I will be in today from about 8pm, presumably thinking about our new auth system, remote members and looking at things which are linux shaped while grumbling about software. What are you up to? -- Dave Hibberd <hibby(a)debian.org> Debian Developer Packet Radioist MM0RFN
