Hi everyone,
This Friday (16th) is the third Friday of the month and so at 8pm we
will be having the seventeenth Consular Convention for Control &
Prohibition of Pandemics on WorkAdventure/Jitsi [1].
Everyone is invited to turn up, have a few lemonades and shoot the
breeze. This is an informal catchup for 57North members and Scottish
Consulate diaspora around the world; a continuation of our regular
lockdown video calls.
Hope to see you on WorkAdventure this Friday at 8pm Aberdeen time.
I'll be on a bit later, after spending the minimum polite time at
work's Christmas thing.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi all,
Two people have told me that they have tested positive for Covid after the December party. Make of this what you will but I recommend everyone present take an LFT.
Q
Good day beautiful nerds, 'Tis Tuesday once again, so we will have our weekly open
night! Needle's going down, will it snow??
If you've not heard of us, 57North get up to a range of activities on Tuesday nights
in our little clubhouse, including (but not limited to) social contact, programming,
manufacturing weird things and consuming sugary treats. Typically we kick off at 1930.
We're located at:
Suite H
Kettock Lodge
Innovation Park
Campus Two
Bridge of Don
Aberdeen AB22 8GU
There's plenty parking, but if you don't have transport get in touch either here
or IRC and someone may be able to help you out!
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!
I may or may not be down, I've got a call for https://scotiacon.org.uk/ at 8pm, so it really depends on how well my life goes before that!

Hey y’all!
We’ve been talking about the plans for the weekend tonight, and the shape we’ve come up with for the weekend is as follows:
Friday night! Those who are around are welcome to join us at 7pm, 6 Degrees North, Littejohn Street.
Saturday! We plan to be in from ‘after lunch’, let’s say 1pm - we’ll computer and project until we get a little bored of that and drink until the early hours!
It’s likely that we’ll do a group order of food, and the hacklab shop is stacked with food, drink and such to consume - please remember to bring money for both. We’d really appreciate it if you brought a donation for the hackerspace too if you’re not a member. We’ve even had offers of a DJ, if you know anyone else who wants to bring music on Saturday evening, direct them my way!
Sunday will begin likely the same time, and be a lot more relaxed if and when things happen.
It’s entirely possible that members will be in earlier, or could be talked into turning up earlier if you ask on the discuss list - maybe some already have plans to come in early!
See you then beautiful nerds
Hxx

I'll be down for 20:00 or so today, I plan to look at things and tidy. Main goals are to turn that big metal cabinet into a woodstore so it's out the way, please find something that annoys you and give it a wee tidy too in advance of the weekend's party <3

I'll be down for 20:00 or so today, I plan to do some stuff, who knows what. I should probably take apart my stopwatch for curling and work out why it turns off randomly and rattles when I shake it. I said I'd do it weeks ago, I've still not.
I will be returning the selection of tools and hardware I borrowed to do some work in the house on Sunday - if you're wondering where the workmate is, it's in my car!

Hello Everyone
Today is the weekly openday. We Should bo open from about 7:30pm till late at Kettock Lodge in the bridge of don. For directions use https://www.57north.org.uk/contact
I'm going to try and be there from 7:30. I would like to discuss the possibility of having a fediverse node for Aberdeen, I do help out as the Aberdeen social centre and would like to see if there is enough interest to run an instance. So I'll be talking about the potential for that.
What will the rest of you be up to, remember if you come along for the first time you can bring a laptop or project, it'll help you settle in, or if you are comfortable just chatting.
Midder.
Evening lovely people,
57North Snack Bank is now up and running, its a lot like revbank if you’ve ever used that before,
otherwise here’s a quick run down.
When you pick up something from the snack stash scan it with the barcode reader on the table and
once you’ve scanned everything you want type in your user ID to bill it to your account.
The first time you use it you’ll need to use `adduser` to create a ledger for yourself.
When you put cash in the box / bank transfer to hibby use the `deposit` command to record this
against your balance. If at any point you get stuck the `help` command should, well, help.
Its written in Rust and the code is on GitHub at https://github.com/TheEnbyperor/57north-bank.
Improvements or suggestions are very much welcome, open an issue/PR as appropriate.
Happy hacking!
