Next Meeting: Mad Science Fair - Open Hardware Expo
Wednesday, July 10th at 6 pm

Back by popular demand, our Mad Science Fair returns for 2013!

Come out for a night of show and tell on open hardware projects. Bring your Arduino, Beagle, Raspberry Pi, or other open hardware based project and show it off. Share experiences with others, and learn about all the amazing things you can do with these inexpensive open source platforms.

We'll have tables set up and do this science fair style, where people will roam around and check out projects by others. All levels of experience are welcome to present and participate.

To get you bootstrapped for this event, Squidwrench is going to be making Arduino a theme of their weekly Tuesday meetings.

The night's agenda will go as follows:

  • 5:00pm - setup - anyone that wants to show up early to help setup the room and their project is welcome
  • 6:00pm - Science fair open, go check out everyone's project
  • 8:00pm - retreat to Palace Diner for dinner, dessert, and further geekery

We hope to see you there!

2 months 2 weeks ago

Welcome to the 10th Anniversary of the Mid Hudson Linux User's Group! 10 years ago, a couple of ambitious Linux and open source folks thought it might be a good idea to start exchanging ideas on a regular basis. They never thought it would last more than a few sessions. More than 120 meetings later, here we all are, with a stong membership, exciting and interesting meetings and an apparent desire to keep this thing going another 10 and more.

Meeting Notes for January: High Performance Computing at a Small Scale
4 months 2 weeks ago

First Lightning Talk - Sean Dague: ZNC

ZNC is an IRC "bouncer" that you can use to maintain a connection to IRC chat sessions when you are away. It allows you to be able to maintain a connection when you are not around, giving you history of what you would have normally missed. And probably lots more as well!
