I figured I'd show up with a bunch of T2s and toys and just let people hack :) Usually works well– I point them to start.tessel.io to learn how and then people tend to take off from there.

@nebrius @Frijol Still good for September?

[nebrius]

@dshaw yep, we're good :)

[Frijol]

Should be!

[Frijol]

9/17 right?

[nebrius]

Yes, 9/17! I'll update the original ticket with more info, including the checklist.

[nebrius]

Alright, I added the checklist, let's see how this works out! I'll take venue selection. I've already started chatting with a few people.

Who would like to take on which tasks? @Frijol perhaps you could take on creating the meetup.com event?

[Frijol]

Yes, will do & added myself!

Checking in on this – here's the meetup link: http://www.meetup.com/nodebotssf/events/224916005/

Sounds like @nebrius is out of town but @melanielok and I are both going for sure. I believe @johnnyman727 and @timcameronryan are also coming to help run the T2 hack. Maybe also @jiahuang @kevinmehall?

For Nodebots meetup readiness, any updates re the checklist above?

In terms of hardware readiness, I'll bring Tessel 2s and accelerometer, climate, ir, relay, and servo modules per https://github.com/tessel/hardware-modules/issues/7.

We will be using http://tessel.github.io/t2-start/

To do from my end:

• [x] Make sure http://tessel.github.io/t2-start/ is ready/not buggy
• [x] Update the firmware for all the T2s with t2 update -f
• [ ] Re-publish CLI & do a firmware release (@johnnyman727)
• [x] Neatly organize the hardware I'm bringing, get stickers, make a checkout list

[nebrius]

I got the sponsor on the website, and I'll follow up with New Relic later today, cc'ing some others on it so everyone knows who's who.
