I'm in Fairburn (SW ATL). I'd definitely be interested in a workshop. I'm a Java developer for a small company.
quadmasta,
We are planning to have a monthly meeting when possible. I think it was determined to be the last Saturday of the month. The location will most likely move each month for a while until we settle down to a good location. I am from SW Atlanta as well so I am pulling for somewhere from Midtown to Smyrna so it is centrally located.
If you get a chance take a look at the web page http://groups.google.com/group/atlantaarduino. It was just started but we do intend to use it send out announcement of meeting to come as well as develop some resources for electronics in Atlanta
