I have re-read the original announcement of last nights' meeting, and even
at the announcement stage, it seemed better matched for the Maker community
than the Linux community.
For example, if this topic had been "Let's look at how to write a Python

I prefer people to continue to say new things and recognize, as you

Alright,
So I'd like to apologize to Michael, Patrick, and anyone else offended by
my off-hand comment. My intention wasn't to troll, but to offer a cheeky
rebuttal. Clearly the intent was lost on the wire. I hadn't anticipated

Awesome! Where do I sign up for that one? I can imagine an epic paintball

Or are you implying that just because a technology or concept can be
abused, that it shouldn't be explored? Because the developers of TrueCrypt,
Bitcoin, and all modern chemistry may have a
Great, I propose that we borrow a few 3d printers, and start giving
demonstrations regarding how to 3d-print guns. which we can then 3d print
onto quadrocopters, which are running on raspberry pi's for targeting and
