Hi Jim et al --<br>
<br>
What, you think that I could only lecture for one year!?!!!<br>
<br>
Thanks for thinking of me! I like the idea, and I would be happy to talk. Software, hardware, robotics, fractals, baking, aerodynamics, electrostatics, astronomy, astrophotography... and maybe even a few other subjects.<br>
<br>
Sounds like something that could be planned by one of our new-fangled committees...<br>
<br>
Regards to all!<br>

<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
My thinking is that there be an<br>
scheduled<br>
meeting every week for a talk. My first<br>
preference would be talks by the extended<br>
Maker community. Talks about software<br>
engineering projects would definitely be<br>
welcome, as well as guests.<br>
<br>
Steve E's three subjects are also just what<br>
I had in mind.<br>
<br>
I'll bet Tim could easily come up with a<br>
talk a month for a year as well.<br>
<br>
I'd very much enjoy learning about drums<br>
from Jeff, technical illustration from Emily,<br>
programming from Braden, and whatever anyone<br>
else would like to talk about.<br>
<br>
If we can't get a speaker each week, another<br>
alternative I've been thinking about is a<br>
movie night. There's all kinds of practical<br>
and historical Maker stuff on the internet.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'll sign up to help make this happen.<br>
Maybe a 1-2 month test run will see how much<br>
interest and participation we can get.<br>
