I’m going to be out of town, but I’d be up for helping plan something for Drone Day 2020 :slight_smile:

Another Bostonian here :slight_smile:

Really wish I could be there but schedule won’t permit…

Will send good vibes for a fabulous event, and hope to join in next year!!!

It’s last minute but the Drone Day plan is coming together. It’ll be in Somerville, on the early side so people can still go to the Cake Factory show at 10:

I think we’ll have some space for day-of signups but is anyone interested in committing to perform and being part of the promo? @alanza?

Extremely minimal, extremely casual. Play for however short or as long as you want.

@Dewb - I’m 90% in to perform. I have a slightly wacky idea of using a 16mm film projector I recently acquired, but I need to test if the basic premise works tonight :laughing: I’ll let you know for sure tomorrow.

Awesome! Unfortunately for me I realized I had the extent of the trip wrong and I fly out on the 14th.

Bit of an off-topic question, but this seems like a group of people who may know: is there a makerspace in Boston/Cambridge with SMT soldering equipment? I’ve got some DIY projects where I’d prefer to use proper equipment if I can get access to it.

Artisan’s Asylum and Cambridge Hackspace (both technically in Somerville lol) would be my suggestions of where to check. I don’t know off the top of my head yes or no though.

Yep, the Asylum is equipped for a few different SMT processes, with good irons, a microscope, a rework station, and even one of those converted toaster ovens. Probably bring your own tweezers though.
