[dorkbotpdx-announce] Re: Join the DorkbotPDX Vimeo group!

[Thomas Lockney]

You know, this reminds me that I haven't sent out an email in a long time to
let you all know about other ways that you can participate in the group.

First and foremost are our casual, biweekly meetings. These take place every
other Monday at the NW location of the venerable Lucky Lab (
http://luckylab.com/html/directions.html#beerhall) and start generally about
7PM, though some people show up early and others tend to straggle in late.
We're usually there until at least 10 if not later. Feel free to bring along
any projects you're working on. Size is usually not an issue -- we've had
large 3D printers, electric motorcycles, floating balloon speakers and all
sorts of other fun things at these gatherings.

Next up is the website (http://dorkbotpdx.org). You can create an account on
the site, comment on postings, create your own DorkbotPDX blog or add wiki
pages. It's a great place to let people know about projects you're working
on or interested in. If nothing else, create a wiki page to tell us about
yourself. See the members page (http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/members) for
links to various pages others in the group have created.

Along similar lines to the Vimeo group, we also have a Flickr group (
http://flickr.com/groups/dorkbotpdx/). You can see lots of pictures from our
past in their currently, but I'd love to see people add more pictures of the
projects they're working on. I've been thinking for a while now that we
should have a "show us your bench" contest of some sort. Now if only I had
some good prizes to give out (note to self: work on that!).

Ok, that's enough for now. If you're a diehard RSS/Atom feed junkie, there
are feeds available for most of what I just listed. If you have trouble
finding them, let me know.
