I'm really sorry I wasn't able to make it last night I had a family
engagement last minute (darn family, always getting in the way of
the important stuff). I've got my peng pod and I've been playing
with it, it's very cool - definitely a first-generation product but
it feels great to have a free tablet. I'm gonna try my best to get
Ubuntu touch running so hopefully i'll be able to show that off next
month :)<br>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>We had a really great meeting tonight with some new
faces (Juan, Pablo, Danny, Ed). We didn't have much in
the way of presentation or reporting, just a lot of
spirited discussions on various things people were
working on.</p>
<p>(Doug, you owe us a view of your PengPod, or at least a
review of it. I am holding your SGVHAK t-shirt
hostage.)</p>
<p>I've heard a few people making noises about projects
they are thinking about, the type that requires a little
help from others. I would encourage you to post the
project idea to the mailing list and see who would be
interested in working on it. That seems to have worked
well for Braddock's Internet in a Box project.</p>
<p>If you get enough interest, we can provide a
distribution list on sgvhak.org for your project. Aside
from making it easier to communicate with everyone on
the team, it provides an archive of project-related
communications. </p>
<p>I think John's idea for a webcam-enabled 3D printing
service is a cool project that would involve both
hardware and software work. It would be a neat way to
get into 3D printing. I hope we can get that off the
ground before the next HAK. John, could you explain
your idea in more detail?</p>
<p>We also need to revisit the topic of creating a
hackerspace/makerspace. We should collate the results of
our survey and come up with a plan of action. I think
our original options were: </p>
<p>1) Make our own hackerspace<br>
2) Use the facilities of an existing
hackerspace/coworking space<br>
3) Subsidize the rent on someone's existing workshop in
exchange for being able to work there. </p>
<p>New option: </p>
<p>4) Pablo is affiliated with the Pasadena Library(?) and
looking into setting up a makerspace at the library.
Perhaps we can become involved with that? Pablo, if you
can email me, I will make sure you are a part of any
further hackerspace discussion.</p>
