Hey Aaron and Morgan et al,<br><br>Yes we have lots of software hackers - I would guess half or more of the group makes money more or less from writing code.<br><br>We usually group software topics on thursdays @ 7pm for a few hours. Last year we had lots of regular talks on things like: git, vim, asterisk, tor ... and we hosted a few different user group meetings. Alas we haven't been scheduling many events at VHS lately (which we as a group should really fix RSN), but if you have ideas or requests please speak up!<br>
<br>If anyone wants to give presentations or host workshops or whatever on a certain topic, please raise it to the list here. It need not be a formal presentation - it could just be a gathering centered around a project (eg: vhs space arduino <-> twitter) or centered around a topic (eg: test automation techniques).<br>
<br>Speaking of all this, is there any topic tonight? If not maybe we could see who is there and do a round of lightning talks? I'm going to try my best to make it out tonight but no guarantees.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Luke<br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">To further that question... Are there any Macintosh software hackers in the group? I have been following the list for a good two months now, tho I think this is my first post. Im hoping to connect with some hardware guys, interested in doing any kind of mac/iPhone based robotics project!<div>

Received: Saturday, February 27, 2010, 7:41 PM<div><div></div><div><br><br><div>Hi all,<br> <br> Michael Bean mentioned that some hackers were excited to see my<br>welding rig. VanHackers are more than welcome to use it; if there's<br>
interest I could give a short introduction to welding some evening.<br>I'm kind of oddly emotionally attached to the coveralls so maybe don't<br>use those? And of course you break it you bought it, you break<br>yourself you fix yourself, don't blind people with the arc, etc.<br>
<br>There is flux core in the box (which can be used without co2/argon<br> gas) but IT EMITS TOXIC FUMES. If you're going to use the flux core<br>you must not do so inside where other people's health would be put at<br>
risk. Unfortunately my tank is at eatART right now, so welding with<br> regular wire will have to wait until I can bring that back, unless<br>someone else has 72/25 lying around. The wire isn't amazingly<br>expensive but the gas can get pricey, so (once the tank's at 45W<br>
again) if anyone is going to weld up a big project it'd be nice if<br> some gas got added to the pot.<br><br>"some gas got added to the pot"... never thought I'd use those words<br>in that order.<br><br>
