[hackerspaces] Mitch in UK (1-July, and beyond)

[Mitch Altman]

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!

 

 

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).

 

 

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.  :)

 

 

Mitch.

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.
 
 
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.  
 
 
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!
 
 
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.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Mitch.
