Hi all! Just about 1 week left of Hacktoberfest! I'll be hosting a very 👻 SPOOKY 🎃 Community Help Desk this Halloween (Oct. 31st) at 7pm EST! I'll make sure any awesome contributions submitted prior are counted for Hacktoberfest as I review them that evening, so if you want to contribute to the CircuitPython libraries as part of the event, please don't let the approaching deadline stop you. If you're looking for some good first issues to work on, you can find those here:
https://circuitpython.org/contributing/open-issues?label=good-first-issue
Don't forget to register for Hacktoberfest as well, if you're planning to submit as part of it: https://hacktoberfest.com/

If there are any Sydney-based Circuitpythonistas, we're considering organising an informal MicroPython meetup/lunch on Friday 3rd December. Plan is to meet at one of the food courts near Central Station (exact location TBD, probably World Square).
Ongoing discussion in the Sydney channel in the MicroPython Discord https://discordapp.com/channels/574275045187125269/1014033505925214308 but I'll also keep this post updated. (Please don't reply here, to avoid noise on this channel, but emoji responses welcome 😄 )
(Hope this is the right place to post this)

This Wednesday, we’re hosting a GitHub Social Club at Bibliotheque in SoHo in NYC. It’s a low-key hangout for devs, builders, and open source fans. No talks, no pitches, just space to connect, share ideas, and swap stories with others in the community.
Would love to see you there, and if you’re up for it, invite friends or help spread the word. DM me if you want to register!
There’ll be coffee, cookies, limited-edition GitHub swag, some casual games, and a chance to meet the teams behind Copilot, Next, Developer Productivity, and Startups.
Great crowd, good vibes—a chance to network and geek out in a relaxed setting. Hope to see you there!

@shadow spear,Wait, what do you mean, 'added'?
sly rune
Good idea. I've missed John Parks twice in the last 4 weeks. Noe and Pedro and 3D printing is very important to me and my projects so I try not miss their show. I hope these type of events are listed. Webcasts rule in my book these days. The interaction and recognition of the audience is just so 21st century.
Three Cheers. 🍸
amber light
the list of events is available somewhere or is it an open list?
feral prawn
@sly rune that stuff will be in #live-broadcast-chat I think. This is for events in meatspace.
sly rune
@feral prawn Ok, I get it, but what in the world is meatspace? Are you coining a term here or was I on Mars for too long? 😃
feral prawn
haha sorry I'm one of those dang kids. it means in person. as opposed to cyberspace.
it's kind of silly but it seemed like the easiest way to explain 😃
sly rune
@feral prawn Ah, you mean "Reality", got it. 😃
Ok, so if Pumping Station One here in Chicago had something scheduled for people to attend, we could list it here. Yes/No?
tender glen
@sly rune go for it!
sly rune
@tender glen ahhhhh, dunno how? Not sure what format. But I think I get the jist of it.
I have a link to their events page. If that's what your looking for. With a description of course.
tender glen
yeah, just post it like a normal message
I think this channel is meant as a stepping stone to private channels for specific events

For those in the Chicago area, the link will take you to PS1 events page. This is a very busy place.

there's a hackerspace in Buffalo, but then I would have to make eye contact with people and stuff

icy harness
@feral prawn how much does the memberships cost?
feral prawn
dang
icy harness
- you have to do orientation classes which also cost $$
feral prawn
oh it's monthly. dunno if yours is.
icy harness
so on top of the membership fee you have to take courses for the tools you want to use ($65-85)
yeah $125 monthly + course
you get to use a tool for 60 mins then you pay $1 extra per minute..
feral prawn
wowwww how do people have that much money
(I mean not judging! I hate financial judgment and stuff)
just... that seems prohibitive to getting lots of people to join
light tendon
Our maker space is $65/m. However you get a key and it's 24x7 access which is pretty cool.
Still too rich for my blood though. Lol.
icy harness
that sounds more reasonable!
light tendon
@icy harness Yeah it really is. If you pay $80/m you can also attend unlimited workshops/classes. There's also a full blown woodshop you would gain access to as well.
feral prawn
mine doesn't actually seem to list what it has anywhere. so that's... weird
icy harness
@light tendon $80 for unlimited workshops and classes? what a steal!
light tendon
Actually I was a little off on the numbers. It's only $50/ if you don't want to use the wood and metal shop.

@thorny fable @light tendon @icy harness My son told me to give him the dimensions of a project I was working on and he would be able to 3D print it at his local library. I thought for a minute, Libraries, that's it. Libraries should have Makerspaces.
Any thoughts???
light tendon
@sly rune some actually do have maker like activities. I volunteer for a non-profit that teaches all sorts of STEM stuff. I contributed/created a Raspberry Pi class for them
sly rune
@light tendon See, now that's what I'm talking about. I mentioned it to our Director and she wasn't interested. Imagine that.

There's another event coming up for Seattle folks: Geek Girl Con is happening 9/30 and 10/1 - @undone talon and I will be talking about getting started with Arduino, and I'll also be doing a panel on 3D printing, and one about self-guided learning/making

@limber berry Recommended age?
limber berry
@wet birch they say all ages, and have discounted or free passes for kids under 12, but definitely check the schedule, they sometimes run more mature panels in the evenings https://geekgirlcon.com/
they are more of a pop culture convention that is looking to present more content about making, with the goal of encouraging girls and underrepresented groups to go into STEM and "geeky" fields
wet birch
Attendees cosplay?
wet birch
Ok, I'm reading as I'm asking questions. 😃
My daughter is 10. Way into video games, less into making. Though I originally made the portal gun for her so she could be chell for Halloween.
Think a 12 year-old boy would enjoy it?
limber berry
this will be my first year as a panelist, but it sort of quickly snowballed and now I'm doing 3 panels and hosting the fashion show (oops)
i'm sure there will be lots of overwatch cosplay
limber berry
oh! i'm sure there will be a companion cube or two, at least!
wet birch
Ha!
limber berry
you made the portal gun, nice!
anywhoo, to keep it about events, if you end up checking out geek girl con, hope you enjoy it! i'll be there both days being overcommitted as usual 😃
wet birch
I made the gun two years ago but the electronics fizzled an hour before trick-or-treating. Took me two years to get back to the project...
What panels you on?
limber berry
on sat: one about 3d printing, and one about getting started with Arduino (talking with Tony D)
on sun: one about self-guided learning with 3 other makers in different fields (costumer, engineer, blacksmith)

The more, the merrier. As someone who works with youth via the 4H, it's important to provide opportunties. It helps them develop essential skills, provides them an activity and venue to do positive activities, and most importantly....to have fun 😃
As a middle-aged maker myself, you really see some fresh and innovative ideas from the minds of children. Things I seriously would never have considered. Plus with young makers (and makers in general, regardless of age), I see no potential downsides -- just advantages.

@magic crypt I'm not very familiar with the BETT show, but it sounds like a few "tech in education" shows I know of here in the States. There's FETC in Florida, which was just the other week, so you've missed this year. There's TCEA in Texas which is coming up on Austin in a couple weeks. And the big one here in the States is ISTE, in late June, which is in Anaheim this year. Googling those acronyms will probably lead you to more info. Holler if you don't find anything.
gray sinew
@magic crypt I only know BETT from London. They also run elsewhere, I see Mexico, Brazil, Dubai, Malaysia but I don't know what the size is like for those shows. North America is a clear omission. That could suggest there's already an established leader there for educational technology?

Hello community ! I'm sharing here an online workshop that I'll hold on June 24th [in english] about my software "Chataigne", that enables artists, technicians and tinkerers to easily connect, communicate and synchronize software, devices, webservices and plenty other stuff together. It's free, it's open-source, and it's for you 🙂
It also has proven a great way to connect serial-based devices like arduino boards and control them through timelines or interaction from other softwares and sensors.
here is the website of the software : http://benjamin.kuperberg.fr/chataigne
here is the link to the youtube live event : https://youtu.be/RSBU9MwJNLY
and you can find out about projects using it on the youtube channel and on Chataign's discord server

Hello folks! I lead Seattle's ~4k member IoT Hub Meetup group, where we have several entrepreneur members who need to build connected hardware as part of their value proposition. Based on our members' feedback and the lack of a local hardware startup ecosystem, we've been hosting a series of hardware startup-focused meetups that this community might find useful.
Topics/themes include:
- Lessons learned from current and former hardware entrepreneurs.
- Design and engineering hardware products for commercialization
- Selecting suppliers and scaling up onshore/nearshore/offshore manufacturing
- How to find, acquire and support customers of hardware products
- Building culture, hiring talent and skills for hardware startups
- Protecting your IP and obtaining funding for hardware startups
For anyone interested, recordings of our meetups so far are available on our YouTube channel, including a series that we co-hosted with the University of Washington's Comotion Labs Hardware Hall, a new hardware-focused startup incubator in Seattle.

Hello theydies and gentlefriends. I recently took on the role of Talks Chair for the Open Hardware Summit 2022 and I have two pretty neat offers related to that:
-
The 2022 OHS (Open Hardware Summit) Call for Talk Proposals is open and I encourage you to submit! No need to be certified to submit your talk. All the information you need is on the linked page. Feel free to message me with any unanswered questions after checking it out. Deadline is Dec. 17th. https://2022.oshwa.org/submit-proposal/
-
We are now giving a special role to creators who have certified anything with the Open Source Hardware Association in the OSHWA Discord server. No catch, we just want to foster community. Just hop on over there and message @upbeat lynx if you have OSHWA certified hardware! (also, of course, anyone can join the server generally) https://discord.gg/S3gXYuTtp2

So nice meeting everyone at the Boston 3H Hardware Happy Hour. Gotta get the Hub Hacks out each month for more big learning. Cheers to @quaint rapids for organizing this. Sorry my pic game is weak.
