For those who don't know me (hello to all the newer people on the list), I've been teaching people to solder (and teaching electronics) for many, many years -- since high school (which was a very long time ago!). I can teach anyone to solder well. It's fun!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I've been part of Hackerspaces.org and this list since its inception (though I missed the previous 309 messages on this list over the 7 week period while I was traveling around giving talks, workshops, visiting hacker spaces, going to Notacon, and Maker Faires in April and May).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I'm really bummed that I can't be at ToorCamp and in London at the same time. But I'll be at HAR, where I hope to see a bunch of us. We can coordinate more 501(c)(3), and other organizational stuff there, too. (And, of course, I'll be teaching people to solder at HAR. :)<BR>

<DIV>I was invited to attend the UK Guardian's Activate Summit. After struggling with choosing between it and ToorCamp (they are on the same date!), I decided to go to Activate.<BR> <BR> <BR>While in the UK, I'm looking for other cool things to do, since as long as I'm there I should stay at least a couple of weeks. I would love to visit hacker spaces there and nearby! Both forming hacker spaces that don't exist yet, plus existing ones. <BR> <BR> <BR>And if anyone would be interested in me giving a workshop at a space (or community center, or school, or someone's home) while there, I could do workshops that attract people to your community (as I've done at Pumping Station: One, Metalab, Cowtown Computer Club, and many other places) -- I love teaching people to solder, and to make cool things with electronics! I'd also be happy to give talks about hacker spaces, or anything else of interest -- inspiring others to do cool things is what it's about!<BR> <BR> <BR>Also, anyone know of cool places to stay in London while I'm there? Decent, affordable B&B, or a nice couch? Please contact me off-list.<BR> <BR> <BR>Thanks,<BR> <BR>Mitch.<BR> <BR> <BR> </DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Discuss mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Discuss@lists.hackerspaces.org">Discuss@lists.hackerspaces.org</A><BR><A href="http://lists.hackerspaces.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss">http://lists.hackerspaces.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss</A><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></body>
