This will be our second-to-last meeting in the Boilerhouse (Rolland Center) on the North Central College campus before we move to our new location (new location details to come). The meeting starts at 6:30pm. We should probably send someone at NCC a thank-you and let them know where we’re moving). Here’s a map of where it’s all happening:

Despite the incorrect and misleading post from earlier this week, the Hack-a-thon is still going on this Sunday (the 17th) at my house. Fire me an email at jmargalus[at]workshop88[dot]com if you need directions.
Amongst other things, we’ll be making tabletop power supplies out of old computer power supplies. I’ve got some beer brewing kits that Russ and I will be working on (if anyone wants to check it out), and a few other projects I’d love to spend part of the day working on. Feel free to bring whatever you’ve got!

Workshop 88 will be meeting in the Boilerhouse Cafe at North Central College (29 N Loomis St, Naperville, IL 60540) again on January 18. I know we talked about perhaps not having the meeting, being that it’s on MLK Day, but after some discussion we decided to keep the meetings as regular as possible.
This meeting will be open to the public, and we’ll be discussing, amongst other things:
- The location search
- How the Hack-a-thon went!
- Recruiting more members
- The (sort of) Secret Challenge we talked about at the last meeting
We’ll have another post up soon on the Hack-a-thon (remember, it’s this coming Saturday!), but that’s all for now.
