[Cialug] AmesLUG meets tonight!

[Michael Standfest]

The next meeting will be at Ames Public Library at 8pm tonight, though
the doors will open at 7:30 so if you want to show up early, feel
free. If you haven't been to the Founder's Suite yet, just go to the
information desk and they'll direct you.

Paul Cowley will present on Open Source Hardware and his experience
with his new toy Arduino, an open-source hardware micro-controller.

If you are interested in some additional information, you can check
out their official information at http://www.arduino.cc or the support
forums at http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/

You can also look into Chumby (a possible future topic) a single-board
Linux computer on open-source hardware at

We'll also share our FOSS experiences and have a good time as always.
Bring your laptop preloaded with Sauerbraten, Martin bring your
desktop with your wireless issues and everyone bring your laptop and
favorite distro.

OFFICERS NEEDED: We need a Press Relations officer. If you'd like the
position to put on your resume, please mention it at the next meeting.
