I've discovered way-old posts in the read-only forum for the central florida area, but nothing seems to have come of it. I'm in Daytona Beach and would like to see something happen in my area, even if it's necessary for me to be the founder or spear-head of the operation. I'm still in the tutorial stage, but I don't see that as a problem. Enough new people to arduino can still learn from other new people, right?
It's pretty sad to think that it's been almost two years for this first post and there was nothing in response. This area is a desert for maker activity, even something as exciting as the Arduino. Oh well.
