FLOSS UK London Unconference

9:30 AM - 5:00 PM

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

FLOSS UK unconference hosted by London Hackspace

10:00 - 17:00 Saturday 7th February 2015

Venue: London Hackspace 447 Hackney Road, E2 9DY

Online booking opening soon.

See map and travel information at: https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/447_Hackney_Road/Getting_There

This is our fifth un-conference and has moved to the London Hackspace this year.

What is an unconference? An unconference is a conference where what happens is organised by the delegates on the day. The event organisers have to arrange something, the main one being a venue, but the rest is down to the delegates. So all the hassle of talk submissions, review and scheduling is taken away.

Typically:

at the start of the day everyone gets up in turn and says who they are, what their interests are and what they'd like to do
based on this people write proposals on PostIt notes and stick these on a board
a moderator may read out the proposals in turn to gauge interest, and if sufficient the proposal will be put on a scheduling board
delegates may adjust the schedule to avoid clashes, etc.
The unconference starts…

Experience shows that the unconference format results in high quality sessions focussed on what delegates want.

Everyone should be able to afford to come, and as it is a one-day event you will not need to incur accommodation costs, though several hotels are nearby for anyone who wishes to stay over.

Why attend?

There are lots of reasons to attend the FLOSS UK Unconference 2015, including:

Keep abreast with new/emerging technologies
Network with some of the people who are responsible for developing critical applications
Become part of the UK Open Source community - build up informal relationships that can be invaluable in problem solving
Benefit from the experience of delegates with similar interests

<P>In this three hour class, we'll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the "go" button on the laser. We'll cover safety, basic file preparation, and learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you'll have made a plaque for your door, a keychain, a simple box or something slightly ambitious.  (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)</P>

<P>After learning the basics, each student will create a simple design and cut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers your time on the laser cutter to cut and etch. We have a variety of scrap material to experiment with or you can purchase laserable acrylic, Delrin, illustration board, leather, or wood. Midwest and Revell make a variety of plywood, bass and balsa that is perfect for laser cutting. The bed size of our laser is 32" x 20" so buy materials accordingly.  Keep in mind that large-scale, complex, multi-cut projects may not be appropriate for the class.<SPAN STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;">  Our goal is to teach you how to use the tool, not how to reinvent the Sistine Chapel in one afternoon.</SPAN></P>

<P>Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. You may choose to upload and install Inkscape or a free trial of Adobe Illustrator before you come to class to get familiar with the software and start on a vector design project.</P>
<P>This class is required for coming in to do work on the laser independently. If you get inspired, you can come back and laser your objects on our Lunar Laser Mondays or Thursday Craft Night [see calendar for times].</P>

February C++ Meetup in the Ruhr area

7:30 PM - 8:00 PM

🇩🇪 · Das Labor

Hi there C++ aficionados. Jörn stepped in and will give a standup talk. Something about testing your code. Test your code? Real men don’t test their code, don’t they?

The talk will last more or less one hour so that there is still plenty of time for discussions or beer tastings afterwards.

A first meeting of the London Hackspace Linux User Group.

For our first meeting we will mostly be hanging out with laptops, drinks and maybe pizza talking about why we're interested in *Nix, what we use it for and a quick show and tell of our desktop/terminal environments.

We'll also chat about what we want to do for future meetings/group projects."
