Hello friends
You may have heard already, or have seen on the website, but we're delighted to be bringing back NorthernRST. We're on for Saturday the 9th of December. The event will be hosted at the luscious and spacious 57 North Hacklab in Aberdeen see https://www.57north.org.uk/our-space for more details about the location.
This time we will focus on hearing from our community, sharing our knowledge, experience and passions. Our schedule this time will be looser, we will integrate talks with dynamic “unconference” content.
We are not going to do a formal CFP this year, instead if you have an idea of a talk or project that you'd be keen to share, give us a shout on the email address below. We are going to run a Fire Talks format, with all talks are expected to be a total of 20 minutes and supported by slides.
If you would like to share something with the community please reach out to us on the address below.
Some of you have made suggestions already, thanks - we'll get back shortly!
We'll add more info to the website at https://northernrst.com/ when we have it, but we'll also keep you updated via email.
The easiest way to get in touch is just by emailing orga(a)northernrst.com
Thanks & much love
NorthernRST
hello there,
It's Tuesday, so we will have our weekly open night..again!
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. Typically we kick off at 1930.
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 parking, but if you don't have transport 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!
I shall be in from about 730pm.
Drop an email to tell us when you'll be in and what excitement you're
getting up to?
Cheerio,

Hi
Looking at the Aurora forecast...
https://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/
...and the weather...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657832
...it looks like this afternoon and evening might be good for Aurora
spotting, perhaps between 17:00 and 18:00. With sunset being 16:13,
clear skies between 16:00 and 18:00 and peak Aurora
between 17:00 and 18:00, maybe we'll be in luck.
As someone who's probably* never seen the northern lights, any
suggestions on where to go near Aberdeen, or tips? Also, for the sake
of kids' expectation management, if it looks like it does in photos,
to the naked eye?
Cheers
Andy
*unsure about some psychedelic experiences up blackford hill in
Edinburgh in the 90s :)
