Joe Pardue I am thinking about teaching a two-part workshop on Fritzing. These would be 1/2 hourish lecture and 1/2 hourish help session sandwiched between (7 to 8) our usual meetngreet and showntell. I've attached a flyer for this that we can discuss at our next Robotz meeting this coming Tuesday. Comments?

"Anybody using a propeller?"

Joe Pardue Low turnout for Robotz tonight. Me, Jay, Butch, Derrick, John, Josh, Sam. The last four are high school students wanting some advice on the electronics for their AirSoft Mobile Base.
We discussed some ways to perk up more interest and I'll post some more about that later.

Carl John Nobile Hey guys. A lot of things have happened to me over the last two months. The company I worked for up until last week, Scripps Publishing was going to lay everybody off by the end of August. That being said I decided to not waist any time looking for a new job. I found one, but it's in Raleigh NC. I'm there now doing some training, but will be home on the 21st of March. I will be going back and forth doing telecommuting while I'm in Knoxville. If I happen to be in town when the club meets I'll try to be there.

Joe Pardue Sorry to see you go. Raleigh ought to be hopping for this sort of stuff.

Joe Pardue I will no longer be able to open the workspace on Tuesdays due to my heavy workload. If anyone wants to use the facility then they either need to contact Mat, or arrange privileges with Lois and then get the keys from me.
