We’ll be having our first General Meeting at our new location on 1684 Quincy this coming Monday.  Topics of discussion are on the agenda, which you can review and edit here.  The minutes from the last meeting should be up soon here.

After the meeting, we’ll be heading to Two Brother’s Brewing Company to celebrate the new space and our successful move-in.  You can subscribe to the event at Plancast.

Check out these materials if you want to know what we’re doing:

I’m excited to see you all there!

SAVE THE DATE ON YOUR CALENDARS YOU GUYS!!  Tuesday, February 23rd at 8 PM marks the first “Hackers in the Pub” event for Workshop 88.  We’ll be hosting at Jimmy’s Bar & Grill:

Pants may come off, and are optional.

ANYWAY.  Join us if you’re interested in drinking, hackerspaces, technology, or if you want to meet Dancing Guy.  Just kidding.  He won’t be there, but I may bust out in dance if the correct song plays.  It’ll be a great time!

Questions? Shoot an e-mail toward cbodel@workshop88.com for more info.

Our next planning meeting will be this coming Monday, February 15th at 6:30pm.  This will be an important meeting for Workshop 88.  We’ll be discussing the spaces we found in the two weeks since our last meeting, and the near-space weather balloon competition progress.

If you’re interested in sharing the weather balloon competition with other hackerspaces, send them here.

We’ll be holding a second hackathon 2:00pm-9:00pm Saturday February 6th. A couple projects we’ll be working on are our big near space balloon event and some beer brewing and bottling. As always bring your projects, bring your Arduinos, and bring your excitement!

We’ll be holding it at Jay’s house again, if you’re interested in attending and did not come last time, please contact info@workshop88.com for the address.

Let us know if you’re coming and discuss potential projects on the forum post.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

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!

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.

I wrote a :CueCat decrypter for Workshop 88 based on the following scheme:

You should check it out here, where I’ve also included the process.php file for download.

I’ll be working on additional features in the future, including product listing and price comparisons.
