Hello Northwet List,

I will check to see what it will take to get a large room at Renton
Technical College for a weekend (One day or two?). It should be free. The
Seattle robotics society meets there for free. Other possible locations:
Experience Music Project, U of W, Seattle U, Center on Contemporary Art.

I suggest July or August so that there is enough time to plan activities and
perhaps invite guest speakers/performers.

Let's start an itinerary. Formal or Informal? What do you guys want to do?
Show off DIY projects? Swapmeet? Technical sessions? I would like to find
out what has been done at other meetings.

John
