We would like to start organizing a semi-regular series of "Tinkering Evenings", where we could get together and focus on specific things like:

  • Introduction to a tool in the space (by some expert) and hands-on work by others new to the tool
  • Bringing a non-functional tool in the space to working order
  • Introduction to some technique (e.g. locksmithing), skill, piece of software, etc. by one or more
 experts and hands-on work by others new to the topic

The hope here is that we can begin to organize regularly such "Tinkering Evenings" separate from the Wednesday social evening. For the moment we are not going to pick a specific evening during the week (both Tuesday and Thursday were proposed, but neither worked perfectly for a subset of people polled), but instead simply choose as best we can from week to week.

Near term "Tinkering Evening" schedule

(This information should migrate to the "Events" calendar once the rhythm is eastablished.)

  • Thursday, 14 Feb, 2013 (19:30-23:00) - [Wonderful Wiki Workshop]
