I'm in town for the next two weeks, so if there's interest in having an informal meetup I'd show up. (I'm usually in San Francisco) <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, 26 Dec 2015 11:45 Kevin Cole <<a href="mailto:dc.loco@gmail.com">dc.loco@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Long time no see (or do). A recent request to join the mailing list has prompted me to see if there's any life left here that's interested in doing stuff... Of late I've tried to become a bit more active with the local hackerspace HacDC, as well as the DC Raspberry Pi Meetup. I built a 3D printer for Jeff, which I'm amazed actually functions. I was also occasionally helping out at the MLK Python weekly intro, established by the library's tech enthusiast and keeper of the MLK Fab Lab, Adam Schaeffer, but quickly taken over and very well run by Rami Chowdhury. So, if you don't know Python and want a very gentle introduction, pop in on a Saturday afternoon at 2:00 in the MLK Dream Lab. Upcoming fun: Tricking out a car with a Raspberry Pi touch-screen "control panel". The ACC has this old beat-up car that the curriculum coordinator, maintainer of 3D printers and laser cutters, and car enthusiast, Cassidy Nolen, wants to fancy up. (I keep hearing "Ride of the Valkyries" and picturing Donald Sutherland -- or maybe it was Bruce McGill -- with a wicked grin and a welding torch. See: Deathmobile.) I'm gaining a wee bit o' facility with PyQt / PySide, and probably will look to Kivy for the project.
