<div dir="ltr">And... as long as you are out there on the fairgrounds, stop by Centennial campus around noon for a dual high altitude balloon launch to be held on the oval (the grassy area behind/between EB1, 2 and 3. This will be a joint launch with the NCSU SEDS group (with Charles West, who has been the student sponsor for TriEmbed) and with BlackSkyTelemetry (<a href="http://www.blackskytelemetry.org">www.blackskytelemetry.org</a>).<div>
<br></div><div>This dual launch will also be part of the Global Space Balloon Challenge where balloons all over the world will be launched over the 4 day weekend beginning Friday. There are actually two other balloon launches going off earlier on Saturday from Durham as part of NC Nearspace (the group that does the NC Maker Faire launches).</div>
<div><br></div><div>So go to RARS auction and then stop by to see us around noon... (start prep about 11am, with launch around 12 - 12:30).</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

In lieu of a meeting at Splatspace this month there will be a
meeting of TriEmbed at the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society Hamfest (<a href="http://rars.org/rarsfest/" target="_blank">RARSFest</a>) in the Jim Graham
building at the NC Fairgrounds this Saturday. Unfortunately it costs
$10 to get into the hamfest, but for embedded development
enthusiasts its worth it to meet fellow enthusiasts and oggle and/or
buy part of the fractional acres of gizmos, gadgets and components
(plus some distracting radio equipment, but just look the other
way). <br>
<br>
Scott Hall is in charge of the official TriEmbed table and it will
be along side tables for <a href="http://splatspace.org" target="_blank">Splatspace</a>
and <a href="http://trilug.org" target="_blank">TriLUG</a> (Triangle Linux Users
Group). He set up a <a href="http://www.meetup.com/splatspace/events/174892362/?a=ea2_grp&rv=ea2&_af_eid=174892362&_af=event" target="_blank">Meetup
Page</a>. Ignore the 7am to 5pm times on this page: The doors open
for regular attendees at 8am and the place begins to wind down
quickly by 2pm.<br>
<br>
Unless they're sold out before dawn that morning Jon Wolfe and I
intend to get two tables to sell stuff and act as a defacto
secondary TriEmbed site. We'll try to be close to Scott's tables.
Jon will have some of his Anibit products on display while I attempt
to get rid of my remaining amateur radio-related components. Jon and
I will both be demonstrating various things.<br>
<br>
The best way to get to the 'Fest is as follows:<br>
Consult this map: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/KhJ0a" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/KhJ0a</a><br>
<br>
The Graham building is the big rectangle to the lower-left of the
fish-like roof. It's the largest building closest to the corner of
Hillsborough and Youth Center Drive. The easy way to get to the
'Fest is to make the turn onto Youth Center and then take a right
through the gates and double back to the parking that is SW of the
Graham building and then walk up the hill. The tickets are sold on
the far side of the building.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
