Build Your Network! Come to Arduino Night

This is an open invitation to Arduino Night (buy a kit, build a kit, bring a board): 7:30pm-10:00pm, Thursday, 23 October 2008 at the Sun's Santa Clara Campus historic Mansion (across the road from the Auditorium). If you are in the area and open source or Sun SPOTs (Sun Small Programmable Object Technology) are your passion, this is a great chance to expand your network.

More event information is available in Alan DuBoff's mail: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ug-svosug/2008-October/000093.html.

This event is part of the Silicon Valley OSUG (OpenSolaris User Group) meeting. There are 72 OpenSolaris User Groups all over the world. See: OpenSolaris User Groups: Locations & Lists for more.

For one example of a fun Arduino project, see my 1 August 2008 blog entry called "OSCON and ServoBells". Come on Thursday night to see my husband John's improved Arduino xylophone (built from a Toys'R'Us tiger), plus his JMRI controlled portable N-scale model train layout. More on John's projects is on his website under Category:Arduino.
