Bring your Arduino (and its shields), laptop (for programming the Arduino) and Milkymist One video synthesizer, and we will teach you how you can make the Milkymist One and the Arduino talk together to create interactive video installations. If you do not have those items, there will be a limited quantity available for lending at the workshop.

Date: October 1st, 2011
Time: to be announced, check www.milkymist.org
Price: free, just drop in
Duration: 4 hours (but feel free to come and go)

Mothership HackerMoms, a Mom-Centered Hackerspace in Oakland

Moms, It’s time to take your projects and dreams off hold. Mothership HackerMoms* invites you to our first meeting — with babysitters hired for the occasion — because you are a sharp, fascinating and delightful woman with mad skills. Be ready to talk about your projects and interests. It’ll be half intro, half mom’s group. We’ll start with wine and a craft-peritif to get our hands moving.

Mothership HackerMoms is the first women’s hackerspace. It’s dedicated to giving mothers the time and space to explore DIY craft and design, hacker/maker culture, entrepreneurship, and all manner of creative expression. Because our kids learn from us, we will provide stimulating, on-site childcare whenever we are open. We share tools, space and expertise through peer-learning workshops and classes. We’ll begin with a weekly open meeting Thursday evenings and Sunday workshop and open work day (11am-5pm), all with childcare. As we expand, we hope to provide an equipped workshop, kitchen, art studio and workspace where our members can collaborate and create.

When: This Thursday, Sept. 8 from 7-9 pm, and every Thursday night going forward. We’ll start on time to be out by bedtime.

    Developer Interest Group (DIG) is your Greater Los Angeles / San Fernando Valley based Maker / DIY / Developer meetup! Each meeting is like a mini-mini-maker faire, where geeks of all types are encouraged to bring their projects of all types and show them off to their like-minded peers. It’s sort of like an open-mike for folks that aren’t necessarily musicians, or a science fair that may or may not be about science. We meet on the first Wednesday of EVERY MONTH at 7:30 pm at the LASFS HQ at 6012 Tyrone Ave, Van Nuys, CA 91401. We supply cake at every meeting (not a lie!) and usually have healthier snacks as well. 
    The venue doesn’t have internet yet, but we are working on that. There is power, and we can supply monitors or other stuff if you let us (me) know in advance.
    The next meeting is Wednesday, September 7th! More info is on our website at http://developerinterest.org , or our EventBrite page at http://dig.eventbrite.com .
    Be there, AND be square!
