by 57North Announcements

Hey, hello, happy Tuesday Hope you're well, it's been a warm and cloudy Tuesday so far out here in the borders of the 'shire, so open evening at the hackspace is hopefully a comfortable temperature. We're in the throbbing heart of Bridge of Don south, at... Suite H Kettock Lodge Innovation Park Campus Two Bridge of Don Aberdeen AB22 8GU ...there is sort of useful blurb on... https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings ...and... https://www.57north.org.uk/contact ...just press buzzer H and someone will come and let you in after a brief wait. Reply if you have any questions, if you want to share your plans, or if you'd like a lift. I'll be along around 8 ish, will be doing some meshtastic and/or software shenanigans and who knows what, being a bit tired or something! See you there :) -- Dave Hibberd <hibby(a)debian.org> Debian Developer Packet Radioist MM0RFN

New Year's Eve Party!

by 57North Announcements

Fit Like! Following the entertainment of the Christmas do, let's get together and have a party to bring in the new year! Kick off at 4ish, 31st December. Bring your own booze and snacks! Bring some friends too - we've got a couple are coming up from Glasgow. With yet another early start to the proceedings, we'll need to think about dinner! While it was good fun to have Pizza at Christmas, I think all the takeaways will be busy - I have this half bake idea of a pot luck at a mutually agreed time (6/7pm?). I can bring down my instant pot to use as a small air fryer/oven unless someone has an actual air fryer that we could use? There's also the hacklab food telly for microwaving food. Any suggestions for themes? Or things to hack on? I'm down for toothbrush robot battles and Kenny wants to bring some board games. Any requests and/or advances on that? Hx -- Dave Hibberd <hibby(a)debian.org> Debian Developer Packet Radioist MM0RFN
