[TriEmbed] September meeting & gift from OSH Park

[Pete Soper]

Folks,

   The September 12th meeting will be back in room 1007 of NCSU 
Engineering Building One through December, but there is a chance we'll 
get bumped to an alternate room by finals on December 12th. I'll update 
the web site maps, etc, as soon as I can.

   I've pinged a few folks about program material, but gotten no bites, 
so as things stand we're wide open to suggestions.

   Recently Drew Fustini of OSH Park <http://oshpark.com> discovered our 
web site and email list and sent a number of compliments our way. And 
Drew sent a $100 discount coupon. I propose we share this across the 
group somehow. TriEmbed was created over the last few years by a lot of 
people, and lots of you, both local and remote (out to Texas!) have 
created the web and email content. Perhaps we could do a pair of PCB CAD 
workshops and submit a set of design files with the coupon? A couple 
Saturday morning at Splatspace, perhaps, for folks to get off square one 
with the tools and then do final prep and submission of a set of 
designs? Just an idea. But in simple terms, we're talking about three 
copies of 20 square inches of PCB delivered from new or existing designs 
(OSH Park has a mind boggling collection of community-submitted shared 
designs). This might naturally feed into assembly and soldering 
workshops in coming months.

-Pete
