Canonical Visit

Yesterday was Microcontroller Monday and we had some visitors from Canonical pay our space a visit last night. Canonical are having their development meeting in Dublin this week and after a busy day of work, they popped in to have a look around and a chat. We also may have given a few of our visitors the hackerspace bug and we may have a new hackerspace in China some time soon. 🙂

Among our visitors we had Steve Conklin (sconklin to those of you in the interweb) who is a member of the Antitronics Hackerspace in Huntsville, Alabama and Hugh Blemings who, lucky for us, likes too play with arduinos and is in the process of co-authoring a book Practical Arduino: Cool Projects for Open Source Hardware. I can’t wait to read it when its finished.

Steve was good enough to post his pictures on his flickr which can be found here.

Micro-controller Mondays

Mondays are going to be the first designated day for a group to meet within the space. I’m happy to see that a good few members have taken a shine to Arduinos and being inspired  by the fun things that can be done with them with projects on the internet and by other hackerspaces.

So grab your Arudinos, pic’s and programers, electrical components, laptops and your great ideas and meet us in the space on the Monday the 6th of July at 7pm and we’ll see what we can do when we put our minds together.

See you all on Monday
